title: Convert Javascript UTF-8 to ASCII (like Iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $string) in PHP)
body: <p>I'm wondering how it's possible to 'translate' characters in UTF-8 to the closest ASCII equivalent using Javascript, just like Iconv doest in PHP.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <p>ü becomes u<br />ó becomes o</p>
  
  <p>I'd rather not use a replace, because a) it requires a complete set of characters, which is a lot of work and b) i'd would be hard to get a complete set of characters, and i'll never be certain if i'm missing one or two.</p>
