javascript function to remove diacritics

Question

I\'m searching for javascript function to replace French diacritics and came accross this code:

String.prototype.removeDiacritics = function() {
var diacriti         


        

Answer 1

Those three digit numbers are in octal, so if you take the unicode value of ÿ and convert it to octal, which is 377, you will be able to add it to the list:

var diacritics = [
    // Your other values...
    [/[\377]/g, 'y'], 
    // ...
];

Here is a good site to look up the octal values of characters:
