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, "");

removeAccents('Antoine de Saint-Exupéry'); // 'Antoine de Saint-Exupery'
