How to Remove Accented Characters With the UTF-8 Utility
UTF-8, USC Transformation Format 8-bit, is a character encoding format for Unicode, a text based system. The format is used for displaying written words with html code for websites. Creating webpages with UTF-8 can be done in most text editors and browser supported editors. Links from webpages that are not UTF-8 supported can be misrepresented by accented characters. To remove accented characters you will need to add in replacement commands for each accent.
