non-ascii-characters

How can we map non ASCII char with ASCII character? Ex.: In solr index we have word contain char ñ, Ñ [LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH TILDE] or normal n,N Then what filter/token we use to search with Normal N or Ñ and both mapped. cheffe Merging the answers of Solr, Special Chars, and Latin to Cyrilic char conversion Take a look at Solr's Analyzers, Tokenizers, and Token Filters which give you a good intro to the type of manipulation you're looking for.

I am reading county geojson files provided here into R Studio (R 3.1, Windows 8) for each of the states. I am using list.files() function in R. For state PR, which has many counties with accented (Spanish) names viz. Bayamón.geo.json, Añasco.geo.json. The function list.files() returns shortened form of file names like An~asco.geo.json, Bayamo´n.geo.json. And when in the next step I try to read the actual file using above filenames. I get an error that these files don't exist. I was using system default encoding ISO-8859-1 and also tried changing it to UTF-8, but no luck. Please help me solve

I'm using the jquery.highlight plugin: http://code.google.com/p/gce-empire/source/browse/trunk/jquery.highlight.js?r=2 I'm using it to highlight search results. The problem is that if I search something like "café" it won't highlight any words. And if I search "cafe" , even though my results contains both "cafe" & "café" , it will only highlight "cafe" .

This question already has answers here : Closed 6 years ago . PHP: Replace umlauts with closest 7-bit ASCII equivalent in an UTF-8 string (7 answers) i am looking for a method or maybe a conversion table that knows how to convert Umlauts and special characters to their most likely representation in ascii.

I am having a really bad time trying to get " asciifolding " working for my Rails app. I want to search words containing " accented " characters for example i want " foróige " to come up when i search " foroige ".
