diacritics

The diacritics package offers similar functionality to remove-accents, allowing for the removal or replacement of diacritics in strings. It provides a more extensive API for handling different use cases, including the ability to get information about specific diacritics.

unidecode

Unidecode is another package that provides functionality to remove accents from strings, but it goes a step further by attempting to transliterate the string into ASCII. This means it not only removes diacritics but also tries to represent the original sound of the name as closely as possible in ASCII, making it more comprehensive for certain applications.
