How do I translate 8bit characters into 7bit characters? (i.e. Ü to U)

Question

I\'m looking for pseudocode, or sample code, to convert higher bit ascii characters (like, Ü which is extended ascii 154) into U (which is ascii 85).

Answer 1

I think you just can't.

I usually do something like that:

AccentString = 'ÀÂÄÉÈÊ[and all the other]'
ConvertString = 'AAAEEE[and all the other]'

Looking for the char in AccentString and replacing it for the same index in ConvertString
