Ah no, my mistaske: I got stringByFolding... muddled up with NSString's stringByApplyingTransform:. Look into the latter: the ICU docs have a great long list of available transformers, at least some of which are included in macOS.

BTW, I really hope y'all have filed your feature requests asking Apple to adopt it for 10.13. Cos 10.13'll be the last chance to head Apple off at the pass before they officially write off Automation as a Failed Product (which it is, but not for technical reasons), and go with OLE-style App Extensions as the future for inter-App integration. If not, it's not too late to do it now:
Just copy-paste my original ticket
(http://openradar.appspot.com/28465563) into your own new ticket on
bugreport.apple.com, quoting the original rdar://28465563 to help the

attention, more chance of action.
