Bug Description
The by_letter view for new contacts ui does not work properly with non-ASCII names:
...
return first_letter.
...
For example, all contacts with names in cyrillic get grouped under '0' letter/number which is not that user-friendly.
Since that affects all contacts whose first name is not [A-Za-z], this is a pretty major issue.

In order for this to be fixed, the javascript view should have one function updated:
function first_letter(name) { toLowerCase( )
var first_letter = name.substring(0, 1);
return first_letter.
}
