deburr

function String.deburr(target: string): string

Removes diacritical marks from target string and converts special characters to their ASCII equivalents.

The function normalizes the string, strips combining diacritical marks, and replaces special characters like ligatures (Æ, œ) and extended Latin characters (ø, ß, þ) with their closest ASCII representations.

Example

data-first

import { String } from "@monstermann/string";

String.deburr("café"); // "cafe"
String.deburr("naïve résumé"); // "naive resume"
String.deburr("Æsop's Œuvres"); // "Aesop's Oeuvres"
String.deburr("Ørsted"); // "Orsted"

data-last

import { String } from "@monstermann/string";

pipe("café", String.deburr()); // "cafe"
pipe("naïve résumé", String.deburr()); // "naive resume"
pipe("Æsop's Œuvres", String.deburr()); // "Aesop's Oeuvres"
pipe("Ørsted", String.deburr()); // "Orsted"
