Reagarding Stephen Colebourne post : I had a look at the Caracter class in JDK 1.5, I found nothing to identify accented caracters. Regarding Aldrin Leal post : Thanks for your submission. How ever you don't seem to covert all ISO8859-1, for exemple you seem to be missing Å . I am working on patch with full test case. I expect to submit a first version in one week. Reagarding Gary Gregory post : As I understand it, the class sun.text.Normalizer doesn't unaccent a String, it only replace single caracter accent by double caracter so you could remove them. That approch required you to do two pass over a String. I would prefer ro do it in one pass. > Wish : method unaccent > ---------------------- > > Key: LANG-285 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-285 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Guillaume Coté > Priority: Minor > > I would like to add a method that replace accented caracter by unaccented > one.
