title: Code to strip diacritical marks using ICU
body: <p>Can somebody please provide some sample code to strip diacritical marks (i.e., replace characters having accents, umlauts, etc., with their unaccented, unumlauted, etc., character equivalents, e.g., every accented <code>é</code> would become a plain ASCII <code>e</code>) from a <code>UnicodeString</code> using the ICU library in C++?  E.g.:</p>
  
  <pre><code>UnicodeString strip_diacritics( UnicodeString const &amp;s ) {
      UnicodeString result;
      // ...
      return result;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Assume that <code>s</code> has already been normalized.  Thanks.</p>
