Reference
How are diacritics removed?
The tool uses Unicode NFD normalization (Normalization Form Canonical Decomposition) to split accented characters like é into the base letter e plus a combining accent mark, then strips the combining marks (Unicode category Mn). This is fast, lossless for ASCII letters, and preserves spaces and punctuation.
Common uses
- URL slugs — strip accents from titles before slugifying.
