function RemoveAccents(strAccents) { | |
var strAccents = strAccents.split(''); | |
var strAccentsOut = new Array(); | |
var strAccentsLen = strAccents.length; | |
var accents = 'ÀÁÂÃÄÅàáâãäåÒÓÔÕÕÖØòóôõöøÈÉÊËèéêëðÇçÐÌÍÎÏìíîïÙÚÛÜùúûüÑñŠšŸÿýŽž'; | |

for (var y = 0; y < strAccentsLen; y++) { | |
if (accents.indexOf(strAccents[y]) != -1) { | |
strAccentsOut[y] = accentsOut.substr(accents.indexOf(strAccents[y]), 1); | |

strAccentsOut[y] = strAccents[y]; | |

If your goal is to sort a list of strings, disregarding accents
['André', 'Álister', 'alan'].sort(new Intl.Collator('pt-BR').compare)
Or just to be safe
['André', 'Álister', 'alan'].sort(new Intl.Collator('pt-BR', {sensitivity:'base'}).compare)
Other variant could be..
const removeAccents = (str) => { return str .toLowerCase() .normalize("NFD") .replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, ""); };
Hello! All the above examples are good! However, I put the function at onChange event on an input field and the next character duplicates all the string from the input. Is there any solution to prevent this? Thank you!
