  Description     : ASCII transliterations of Unicode text

 Unidecode is JavaScript port of the perl module Text::Unidecode. It takes
 UTF-8 data and tries to represent it in US-ASCII characters (i.e., the
 universally displayable characters between 0x00 and 0x7F). The
 representation is almost always an attempt at transliteration -- i.e.,
 conveying, in Roman letters, the pronunciation expressed by the text in
 some other writing system.
 .
 Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
