Is there a way to get rid of accents and convert a whole string to regular letters?

Question

Is there a better way for getting rid of accents and making those letters regular apart from using String.replaceAll() method and replacing letters one by one?

Answer 1

Depending on the language, those might not be considered accents (which change the sound of the letter), but diacritical marks

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic#Languages_with_letters_containing_diacritics

"Bosnian and Croatian have the symbols č, ć, đ, š and ž, which are considered separate letters and are listed as such in dictionaries and other contexts in which words are listed according to alphabetical order."

Removing them might be inherently changing the meaning of the word, or changing the letters into completely different ones.
