I use XML files all the time with accented characters. At the top of my XML
file I have the following line

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

The accented characters will be handled correctly.

Is there a simple way to replace accented characters with their un-accented
counterpart?

For example some titles in our database may contain a 'รก' character and this
works fine in the database and on the intranet, however it screws up XML
files with invalid character errors so needs replacing with a simple 'a' in
the XML.

I could do this with a series of replace() actions but with 5 vowels, 3-4
different accents and two cases this would mean up to 40 replaces being
performed and I can't help thinking there must be an easier way.
