Component to replace accented characters in a string

[Jeff Levinson [mcsd]]

I don't know of a component like that, but it is really
easy to do yourself. First, the String.Replace function is
unicode based so it's quite easy to use extended and
standard characters interchangeably .

What I would recommend is to create an object that holds
the basic character and extended character in unicode (use
this as a map for conversion) and then create a shared
method on the object that ran the replace command and
replaced one with the other.
