Frequently asked questions
How does it handle letters like ß, æ, or ø?
Beyond stripping combining accents, a transliteration map converts letters that don’t decompose automatically — ß→ss, æ→ae, ø→o, ł→l, and more.
Will it change my actual letters or just the accents?
It removes diacritics and substitutes special letters with ASCII equivalents; ordinary letters and numbers are left untouched.
