What is an Accent Remover?

An Accent Remover is a text processing tool that strips diacritical marks (accents, cedillas, tildes, umlauts, etc.) from characters, converting them to their plain ASCII equivalents. This is essential for normalizing text for URLs, database indexing, search optimization, and applications where only basic ASCII characters are supported.

It works by decomposing accented characters into base characters plus combining diacritical marks (Unicode NFD normalization), then removing the diacritics. The tool supports all common Latin-based European languages including French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Czech, and more.

What is the difference between NFD and NFC?
