There is no experience if this module gives useful results for scripts other than Latin.
Configuration And Environment
Dependencies
• version
• charnames
• Unicode::Normalize
Description
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.
