问题
I am trying to write a function, that translates a string containing unicode characters into some default ASCII transcription. Ideally I'd like e.g. Ångström to become Angstroem or, if that is not possible, Angstrom. Likewise α=χ should become a=x (c?) or similar.
Does Emacs have such built-in capabilities? I know I can get the names and similar of characters (get-char-code-property) but I know no built-in transcription table.
The purpose is to translate titles of entries into meaningfully readable filenames, avoiding problems with software that doesn't understand unicode.
My current strategy is to build a translation-table by hand, but this approach is fairly limited and requires a lot of maintenance.

There is no built-in capability that i know of. I wrote a package unidecode specifically for your task. It uses the same approach as in Python's same-named library. To install just add MELPA repository to your repository list:
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") t)
Then run M-x package-install RET unidecode. unidecode has 2 functions, unidecode-unidecode that turns Unicode into ASCII, and unidecode-sanitize that discards non-alphanumeric characters and transforms space into hyphen.
