Unicode Normalizer — Accent Strip, Transliterate & Fix Mojibake

Normalize text at scale — apply Unicode NFC/NFKC, strip accents and diacritics, transliterate to ASCII, and repair garbled "mojibake" text. Clean strings for reliable matching, deduplication, slugs and imports.

Unicode Normalizer input — configure the options in the Apify Console

What it does

Applies Unicode normalization (NFC / NFD / NFKC / NFKD).
Strips accents (café → cafe) and transliterates special letters (ß → ss, æ → ae).
Optionally forces pure ASCII and lowercases.
Fixes mojibake — text where UTF-8 was mis-decoded as Latin-1 (Ã© → é).

Use cases

Data matching / dedupe — normalize names and addresses so variants match.
Slugs & IDs — produce clean ASCII keys from accented text.
Import cleanup — repair garbled characters from legacy exports.

Input

{ "texts": ["Café des Élèves", "Größe"], "form": "NFC", "stripAccents": true, "toAscii": false, "fixMojibake": false }

Field	Type	Description
`texts`	array	Strings to normalize.
`form`	string	`NFC`, `NFD`, `NFKC` or `NFKD`.
`stripAccents`	boolean	Remove diacritics.
`toAscii`	boolean	Transliterate and drop non-ASCII.
`fixMojibake`	boolean	Repair UTF-8-as-Latin-1 garbling.
`lowercase`	boolean	Lowercase the output.

Output

Unicode Normalizer output — the results as a clean dataset

{ "original": "Café des Élèves", "normalized": "Cafe des Eleves", "ascii": "Cafe des Eleves", "changed": true }

Output schema

Field	Type	Description
`original`	string	The input string.
`normalized`	string	Normalized text (per your options).
`ascii`	string	Pure-ASCII version.

FAQ

What's mojibake? Text like Ã© that appears when UTF-8 is read as Latin-1 — enable fixMojibake to repair it.

Can I automate it? Yes — via integrations on the Apify platform and the Apify API.

Notes

Original clean-room implementation.
