FAQ

Which characters get converted?

Letters carrying diacritics — accents, umlauts, tildes, cedillas and the like — are decomposed to their base letter, so é becomes e and ñ becomes n.

Does it remove emoji or other symbols?

No. Only combining accent marks are stripped; emoji and non-Latin scripts are left untouched.

What is this useful for?

ASCII-only usernames and slugs, legacy systems that mishandle accents, and normalising names for search or sorting.
