Code to strip diacritical marks using ICU
- by Paul J. Lucas
Can somebody please provide some sample code to strip diacritical marks (i.e., replace characters having accents, umlauts, etc., with their unaccented, unumlauted, etc., character equivalents, e.g., every accented é would become a plain ASCII e) from a UnicodeString using the ICU library in C++? E.g.:
UnicodeString strip_diacritics( UnicodeString const &s ) {
UnicodeString result;
// ...
return result;
}
Assume that s has already been normalized. Thanks.
