The multi-column index on this page lists initial letters of blocks of tags.

Clicking on the letter 'k' does not move to the corresponding 'k' tags. Instead, it moves to the middle of the 'c' block.

I have seen this before; it has something to do with Unicode characters being used as anchors. I can investigate unless someone else wants to.

As I have been working on #152 to make all tags into links to the tag page I have noticed a few things:

The anchors on the tag page are all lower case (which is good)
If the original tag is multi-word the spaces are part of the anchor (seems to work OK, but feels like a bit of a problem waiting to happen)
Some tags contain Unicode characters, and therefore, so do the anchors, and that can cause problems.

Suggestions:

Any code that needs to look up a tag must convert the anchor to lower case
Maybe in the anchors we should replace spaces with underscores
We should use some kind of Unicode conversion when generating anchors (HTML entity?)
