Unicode character conversation

[Antimon]

Hi,

I need to convert a unicode string to ASCII. I can simply use getbytes
method to do that but i would use some characters since Unicode is
16bit.
But i thought there might be some way to convert characters like "ü"
to "u" or, "å" to "a".
Or a chance i can find a conversation table?

Thanks.

If your doing this for the sake of calling a legacy dll ther is a
better way.

Actuly,

I'd be interested to know if anybody can solve this problem using a
single regular expression.

ASCII is limited to 7 bits being bytes vales 0 to 127 inclusive.

If none of your Unicode characters have a value greater than 255 then you
can use ANSI or UTF8.

If any of your Unicode characters have a value greater than 255 then you are
stuck with using Unicode.

Yes.

No, not really. For one thing, the various ANSI encodings don't just
map 0-255 to Unicode 0-255 - it's quite possible to have a string which
includes Unicode characters > 255 but which can still be correctly
encoded in a particular ANSI encoding.

Furthermore, UTF-8 can cope with *all* Unicode characters. Non-ASCII
characters are encoded to more than one byte, but they're still encoded
properly...
