Instance Method Details

#transliterate(string) ⇒ Object

Removes diacritic markers from string.

The ruby Encoding tools cannot perform this action, they can only change convert one encoding to another by substituting characters.

In ruby 1.9.3 we would have used Iconv, but that does not exist in 2.0.

The Encoding::Convert in 2.0 does not work on string with UTF-16 characters.
