Rewrite of Jeff's code to be more concise

    public static string RemapInternationalCharToAscii(char c)
    {
        var s = c.ToString().ToLowerInvariant();

        var mappings = new Dictionary
        {
            { "a", "àåáâäãåą" },
            { "c", "çćčĉ" },
            { "d", "đ" },
            { "e", "èéêëę" },
            { "g", "ğĝ" },
            { "h", "ĥ" },
            { "i", "ìíîïı" },
            { "j", "ĵ" },
            { "l", "ł" },
            { "n", "ñń" },
            { "o", "òóôõöøőð" },
            { "r", "ř" },
            { "s", "śşšŝ" },
            { "ss", "ß" },
            { "th", "Þ" },
            { "u", "ùúûüŭů" },
            { "y", "ýÿ" },
            { "z", "żźž" }
        };

        foreach(var mapping in mappings)
        {
            if (mapping.Value.Contains(s))
                return mapping.Key;
        }

        return string.Empty;
    }
