What is Remove Accents?
This tool decomposes each character into its base form plus combining marks using Unicode NFKD normalization, then removes the marks. The result keeps the underlying letters in their original case but strips accents, umlauts, tildes, cedillas, and other diacritics. It is useful for generating URL slugs, normalizing search keys, and matching names across systems with different keyboard layouts.

FAQ
- Does it handle non-Latin scripts?
- It removes any combining mark Unicode classifies as such, which covers most diacritics across Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, and other scripts that use them.
- Will ligatures like æ be split?
- No. Ligatures and characters without combining marks are left as-is. Only true diacritics get stripped.
