Hello,

I have a list of Spanish names utf8 encoded with a lot of accented characters. I need to convert them to the equivalent chsracters but without accent. I can create a map of accented characters and substutute them one by one.
I wonder if exist a smart way to do it at once.

Thanks,
Luigi

Hi Luigi,

There is a smart way, which does not use transliteration table. It can be done by converting the unicode to normalized form and then dropping all the combining characters. However I'm not sure how to do this simply in U++ Sad

Best regards,
Honza

Hello Forlano

There is a function in Functions4U called RemoveAccents(). It replaces accented characters with the most approximated ascii characters.

Best regards
