I have a simple question that I can’t find anywhere over the internet, how can I convert UTF-8 to ASCII (mostly accented characters to the same character without accent) in C using only the standard lib? I found solutions to most of the languages out there, but not for C particularly.
Thanks!
EDIT: Some of the kind guys that commented made me double check what I needed and I exaggerated. I only need an idea on how to make a function that does: char with accent -> char without accent. 🙂
There’s no built in way of doing that. There’s really little difference between UTF-8 and ASCII unless you’re talking about high level characters, which cannot be represented in ASCII anyway.
If you have a specific mapping you want (such as a with accent -> a) then you should just probably handle that as a string replace operation.
