Frequently asked questions

How does accent removal work?

Text is Unicode-normalized (NFD) to separate base letters from their diacritical marks, then all combining marks are stripped, leaving plain ASCII letters.

What are ligatures and how are they handled?

Ligatures like æ, œ, ß, ø, ł and đ don't decompose into a base letter plus accent, so they're transliterated separately (æ→ae, ß→ss, ø→o) when the option is enabled.

Is this good for creating URL slugs or filenames?

Yes — removing accents produces clean ASCII text that's safe for URLs, filenames, and systems that don't handle Unicode well.
