Strip accents from text
Description
Fold accented Latin letters to their unaccented ASCII form
("café" -> "cafe"), following ICU's Latin-ASCII mapping: covers the
Latin-1 Supplement and Latin Extended-A blocks, plus a few common extras
(ß -> "ss", Æ -> "AE", Romanian ș/ț). Characters with no
mapping, including non-Latin scripts, pass through unchanged. No Unicode
library dependency.
Usage
removeaccents(x)
Arguments
x
An atomic vector.
Value
A character vector the same length as x.
See Also
transliterate() for Greek and Cyrillic as well.
Examples
removeaccents(c("café", "naïve", "Zürich", "Kraków"))
