[Nix-dev] Patch to add uni2ascii (Converts between UTF-8 and many 7-bit ASCII equivalents and back)

[Cillian de Róiste]

Hi,

Here's a patch for a command line tool called uni2ascii.

Thanks,

+    longDescription = ''
+    This package provides conversion in both directions between UTF-8
+    Unicode and more than thirty 7-bit ASCII equivalents, including
+    RFC 2396 URI format and RFC 2045 Quoted Printable format, the
+    representations used in HTML, SGML, XML, OOXML, the Unicode
+    standard, Rich Text Format, POSIX portable charmaps, POSIX locale
+    specifications, and Apache log files, and the escapes used for
+    including Unicode in Ada, C, Common Lisp, Java, Pascal, Perl,
+    Postscript, Python, Scheme, and Tcl.
+
+    Such ASCII equivalents are useful when including Unicode text in
+    program source, when debugging, and when entering text into web
+    programs that can handle the Unicode character set but are not
+    8-bit safe. For example, MovableType, the blog software, truncates
+    posts as soon as it encounters a byte with the high bit
+    set. However, if Unicode is entered in the form of HTML numeric
+    character entities, Movable Type will not garble the post.
+
+    It also provides ways of converting non-ASCII characters to
+    similar ASCII characters, e.g. by stripping diacritics.
