Text::Unidecode provides is a function, `unidecode(...)' that takes
Unicode data and tries to represent it in US-ASCII characters, the
universally displayable characters between 0x00 and 0x7F. The
representation is almost always an attempt at *transliteration* -- i.e.,
conveying, in Roman letters, the pronunciation expressed by the text in
some other writing system.
