Module:Diacritics

Description
Example: Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca
--[[
convertChar returns the non-diacritic version of the supplied character.
stripDiacrits replaces words with diacritical characters with their non-diacritic equivalent.
strip_diacrits is available for export to other modules.
isLike tests two words, returning true if they only differ in diacritics, false otherwise.
is_like is available for export to other modules.
