How to deal with diacritics in parsed text

Is there a way to strip diacritics from parsed text? Like this: http://www.siao2.com/2005/02/19/376617.aspx

 

I ended up just doing a bunch of regex replaces, in case anyone else runs into this:

[ÀÁÂÃÄÅ] to A
[àáâãäå] to a
[ÈÉÊË] etc
[é]
[í]
[ó]
[úü]
[ñ]
[Ñ]
