:question: :question: :question:

I have a string with “special” characters: ěĚšŠčČřŘžŽýÝáÁíÍéÉůŮ.
They are featured in names such as Jiří Švarc.
I need to switch all special characters to their standard type, meaning

ě = e
Ě = E
š=s
Š=S
etc…
Any thoughts on how to do this?

In this case, you can totally use the :arrow_right: ascii() function:arrow_left:

If you set up the function like below, all the special characters and replace with their standard version.

In other words, ěMščařžkýáeíé gets changed into eMscarzkyaeie

to be copied: {{ascii("ěMščařžkýáeíé"; true)}}
