Text::Undiacritic(3pm)

Usage

    use Text::Undiacritic qw(undiacritic);
    $ascii_string = undiacritic( $czech_string );

Version

This document describes Text::Undiacritic 0.01

Overview

Changes characters with diacritics into their base characters.

Also changes into base character in cases where UNICODE does not provide a decomposition.

E.g. all characters '... WITH STROKE' like 'LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH STROKE' do not have a decomposition. In the latter case the result will be 'LATIN SMALL LETTER L'.

Removing diacritics is useful for matching text independent of spelling variants.

Subroutines/methods

undiacritic

    $ascii_string = undiacritic( $characters );
