Hi MRAB,
Here is an example:
In the original dataframe, I have something like, 'Agronomía'. And I
try to transform it to 'Agronomia'.
In this case, I try to replace í with i: the former with a Spanish
accent, the latter without.
That's what you want it to do, but what does it _actually_ do? Does it
_actually_ replace characters in a string, or only match and replace
entire strings?
If you have a dataframe that contains the strings 'Agronomía' and 'í',
does it leave 'Agronomía' as-is but replace 'í' with 'i'?

Does that replace characters in strings, or does it replace one
string
with another, e.g. replace the string 'á' with the string 'a'?
