Removes accents from strings.

• Use String.prototype.normalize() to convert the string to a normalized Unicode format.
• Use String.prototype.replace() to replace diacritical marks in the given Unicode range by empty strings.

const removeAccents = str =>
  str.normalize('NFD').replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, '');
