Description : Last-resort ASCII transliterations of Unicode text
Text::Unidecode is a simple, quick and dirty library for converting
displayable characters outside the US-ASCII range U+0000 to U+007F into
that range. The method employed is a lossy, simplistic, context-
insensitive, and usually phonetic transliteration into Roman characters,
which is passable for Cyrillic and Greek alphabets, sometimes okay for
non-Western scripts, bad for Mandarin Chinese and worse for other uses
of the Han characters and the Thai script.
.
In other words, if there is a library which directly addresses your
problem domain, then you should be using that instead.
.
On the other hand, this library's output is always better than
characters being transcribed as empty boxes, "?"s, or backslash-
references into UTF8 space.
The algorithm and its capabilities and shortcomings are described in
<http://www.sysadminmag.com/documents/sam05060002/>.
