Mode
How special character removal works
Each mode uses a regular expression to filter the input. "Remove symbols" keeps alphanumerics, whitespace, and common safe punctuation (. , - _). "Letters only" keeps only A–Z and a–z. "Alphanumeric" keeps letters and digits. The "Custom" mode builds a regex character class from the characters you specify, keeping only those.
