Sorry for the off-topic post but this is the best place to get info

I have a string that is composed unicode characters. I want to be
able to transform that string into all ascii characters by
transforming all non-ascii characters into their ascii equivalent.
ex:
ü = u
é = e
Anyone know of a way to do that or do i need a lookup table with
all characters and their equivalents?
Take a look at CFStringTransform(). The details will depend on
exactly what you want to do.
And of course, this process will only work on a subset of all the
Latin-based languages.
Are you using this to build "sort keys"? If so, you should probably
just use the various compare APIs available. Those would also ensure
that the rules honor what the user has set up in their International
prefs.
