Unidecode Description

US-ASCII transliterations of Unicode text Unidecode is a Python module that offers ASCII transliterations of Unicode text.Example Usefrom unidecode import unidecodeprint unidecode(u"u5317u4EB0")# That prints: Bei JingIt often happens that you have non-Roman text data in Unicode, but you can't display it -- usually because you're trying to show it to a user via an application that doesn't support Unicode, or because the fonts you need aren't accessible. You could represent the Unicode characters as "???????" or " BA A0q0...", but that's nearly useless to the user who actually wants to read what the text says.What Unidecode provides is a function, 'unidecode(...)' that takes Unicode data and tries to represent it in ASCII characters (i.e., 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. Requirements: · Python
