Re: update aliases with unicode support
If you have a J! extension of your own, I would use that to run a process that loads an object of each type that you want to update, use its own method to generate an alias and save it.
Without your own extension you can (almost certainly)(?) do it from an external program, although that takes a little more setting up.

Unicode Aliases is Enabled in Global Configuration.
Are you trying to change Aliases to a Language that use other character sets than Latin?

Re: update aliases with unicode support
Have you looked? I'm not aware of one, shouldn't be too hard to write, though

Re: update aliases with unicode support
Open the Article for editing and clear the Alias Field. Save Article and a new Alias will be generated from the Title.
