Hello is there a library (or a simple way) to “remove accents” from a string containing an UTF8 encoded word from a language using the roman alphabet + diacritics? I mean; removing diacritics to obtain ascii. For instance: “é” -> “e”, “ø” -> “o” (or “oe”) , “ọ” -> “o”, “ñ” -> “n”, etc. thanks

I renamed the library “Ubase” (like “utf base strings”) because I noticed there are too many opam packages starting with “base”… .So it’s now there: https://github.com/sanette/ubase
