Initial articles in X00 fields:

Initial articles (for example, La) occurring at the beginning of name heading fields are sometimes omitted (except when the intent is to file on the article).

Initial articles occurring at the beginning of the title and/or part portion of a name/title added entry (i.e., 600 , 700 , 800 ) may also be omitted.

Any diacritics and/or special characters occurring at the beginning of fields are retained. Note that such characters are usually ignored for purposes of sorting or filing.
