Is there an iconv with //TRANSLIT equivalent in java?
Is there a way to achieve transliteration of characters between charsets in java? something similar to the unix command (or similar php function): iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT < some_doc.txt > new_doc.txt preferably operating on strings, not having anything to do with files I know you can can change encodings with the String constructor, but that doesn't handle transliteration of characters that aren't in the resulting charset. I'm not aware of any libraries that do exactly what iconv purports to do (which doesn't seem very well defined). However, you can use "normalization" in Java to do
