which is the function that removes accented vowels?

Question

Which is the function WP uses to convert words like "voilà" and "novità" to "voila" and "novita" in category slug? Can I recall it in my theme?

Answer 1

If you simply want to covert accented words you can use remove_accents()

If you want it converted in a slug like format you can use sanitize_title()
