static Class Unicode.Data.AccentFold

An imperfect, incomplete reverse mapping of ASCII characters to case-insensitive regexes that match their most common accented forms.

The goal of this module is to provide a pragmatic and generally useful set of accent folding data, since serving and performing lookups on a complete dataset would be impractical in client-side JavaScript.

Whenever possible, accent folding should be done on the server, where it's possible to use tools that are both more complete and more performant. It should only be done on the client as an absolute last resort.
