Excellent, its just nice to see how it looks in different skins.
Here's an early example with proper icons
You can get some good "alphabet" icons from somewhere like here

I took another look, and see that the string utilities in Kodi are IMHO kind of primitive so using the "startswith" filter in a node doesn't work so great once you get past the basic latin alphabet.
For example, I would expect the "startswith" filter when given a Korean Jamo like "ᄀ" would find all composed syllables such as "강" (Kang) and "김" (Kim) which are common Korean surnames. But that's not what happens -- it matches nothing.

Yeh this was one of the reasons why the PR was rejected.
What would also be nice in smart playlists (and nodes) would be to do a "Does not start with" and then we could catch all the others.

This is indeed a very nice idea.
Something similar has been made using script.skin.helper.service. Some skins now support quick jump alphabet navigation:
But the same problem appears here with only 0-9, signs and a-z navigation.

That's incredible, its a feature I have always wanted since the days of using another htpc app with a music jukebox.

What skin is that?

Any idea which skins support it?
Yeah, it's a pretty cool feature
I only know of Rapier and Titan. Maybe also Aeon Madnox, KOver and Eunique judging from the skin helper service thread, but I'm not sure.
But I definately think more skins should support this feature, as it's not very hard to include.

The screenshot above is the Rapier skin. The feature needs to be enabled in Skin Settings > General.
