Q:

Match diacritics to latin alphabet equivalent

How can I match lower case i and variants like í for example in ActionScript 3, please?
EDIT: The above is just an example, I am interested in matching all diacritics and special letters in general with a similar Latin Alphabet equivalent.
Thank you.

A:

Unfortunately there is no relation (that I know of) behind the numeric character values of visually (and possibly audibly) similar characters. Hence, you will need to keep a lookup table between the regular 26 character alphabet and the diacritic versions of each character from that alphabet.
