in reply to Convert international characters to plain ASCII

You can fill in the rest of the "decorated" latin characters as needed as well play with capitalization (lower casing etc.) to achieve your desired results.

L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L--
-R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR
B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B--
H---H---H---H---H---H---
