Hello Michelle
Your code assume that the original string contain only ASCII characters
Jon's one treat the ASCII range plus a short list of accented characters.
I used the Python handler (which I got here if I remeber well) because it treat a larger range of accented chars.
I'm not saying that one is better than the other one.
Just that when I don't know the exact contents of strings to treat, I choose the code supposed to be able to treat every case.
Old habit of an inhabitant of a country using several non ASCII characters.
My firstname is not KOENIG, it's KŒNIG.
I took the habit to replace it by ASCII characters because it was treated awfully when used in mails. I wrote 'was' but in fact from time to time the Πcontinue to be replaced by fancy characters.
I'm curious to see how it will be treated this time ;-)
