test(know-your-world): add storybook stories for accented characters

Added stories to test the normalizeToBaseLetter function:
- Côte d'Ivoire (ô → o)
- São Tomé and Príncipe (ã → a)
- Curaçao (ç → c)
- Réunion (é → e)
- México (é → e)
- Perú (ú → u)
- Saint Barthélemy (space + accent)

Also updated the demo component to use the same normalization
logic as the actual game.
