Answer 1

First of all, it is rather confused what you what to convert to.

Just imagine that you may want to convert to 'o' and 'i'. In this case you can just make a map:

mp = {u'\u00f3':'o', u'\u00ed':'i'}

Than you may apply the replacement like:

t = u'R\u00f3is\u00edn'
for i in range(len(t)):
    if t[i] in mp: t[i]=mp[t[i]]
print t
