# Text::Unaccent(3pm)

Remove accents from a string

## NAME

Text::Unaccent - Remove accents from a string

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Text::Unaccent;
  $unaccented = unac_string($charset, $string);
  $unaccented = unac_string_utf16($string);
  $version = unac_version();
  unac_debug($level);
```

## DESCRIPTION

Text::Unaccent is a module that remove accents from a string. `"unac_string"` converts the input string from the specified  charset to UTF-16 and call  `"unac_string_utf16"` to return the unaccented equivalent. The conversion from  and to  UTF-16  is  done  with [**iconv**(1)](/iconv/1.md).

## METHODS

- $unaccented = unac\_string($charset, $string)

  Return the unaccented equivalent of the  string `$string`. The character set of  `$string` is specified by the  `$charset` argument. The returned string is coded using the same character set. Valid values for the  `$charset` argument are character sets known by  [**iconv**(1)](/iconv/1.md). Under GNU/Linux try `"iconv -l"` for  a complete list.

- $unaccented = unac\_string\_utf16($string)

  Return the unaccented equivalent of the  string `$string`. The character set of  `$string` must be UTF-16.

- $version = **unac\_version()**

  Return the version of the unac library used by this perl module.

- unac\_debug($level)
