Subject: "Unidecode" functionality in Emacs
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 15:04:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOj2CQRMiVSpnT1wEysenfgFDEb80JZqdPbUn53UmoLOj36zZQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

There are "Unidecode" packages for Perl[1], Python[2], and Emacs[3]
(derived from one another in that order). They each transliterate
Unicode text to ASCII, e.g.:

    (unidecode "Déjà vu")
    ;=> "Deja vu"
    (unidecode "北亰")
    ;=> "Bei Jing "

Does Emacs have equivalent functionality built-in?

[ The context for this is that I recently submitted a change to the
  MELPA recipe, and Steve Purcell mentioned[4] that he would be
  surprised if Emacs doesn't already have such functionality. ]

Thanks for any pointers

        John
