Frequently asked questions
- Will this change letters like ñ or ß, which aren't just accented vowels?
- Straight diacritic stripping turns ñ into n and ü into u, but true letter variants like ß or æ are left as-is since they're not accent marks on a base letter. You'd need a find-and-replace for those.
- Does it work for languages other than French or Spanish?
- Yes. It handles any Unicode text with combining diacritics, so Vietnamese, Turkish, Polish, Portuguese, and German text all get their marks stripped the same way (café → cafe, ễţre, ş → s).
- Is my text uploaded anywhere?
- No. The stripping happens right in your browser tab using JavaScript's Unicode normalization. Your text never leaves your device or touches a server.
