How can I remove accents from text?
Paste your text into the accent removal tool from Cogitans, then copy the result. Spaces, line breaks and punctuation are preserved. Unicode NFD normalisation separates letters from combining diacritics. The filter then removes marks classified as diacritics.
Examples and limitations
Enter: Été, Noël, cœur, Straße ! Output: Ete, Noel, cœur, Straße ! The œ ligature and ß remain. This is not general ASCII transliteration. Ligatures, non-Latin scripts and symbols may remain unchanged.
Practical questions
How can I fill in a form that rejects accented letters?
If the form explicitly requires text without accents, prepare a copy with the Cogitans accent removal tool. Paste your text, then use the result in the relevant field. Check the other allowed characters too: ligatures such as œ remain, and the form may also reject spaces or punctuation.
What is removing accents from text useful for?
It prepares a version for software or fields that require unaccented letters. The Cogitans tool saves you replacing each letter by hand and keeps line breaks. Also keep the original for uses where correct spelling must be preserved.
Will my text keep its spaces and line breaks?
Yes. Spaces, line breaks and punctuation are preserved.
Why are œ and æ not replaced?
The filter removes accents that can be separated from a letter. Ligatures such as œ and æ are distinct characters, so this operation leaves them unchanged.
