Diacritics and their Conversion

By using the function @[REPLACE-DIACRITICS(<value>)], you can convert any character containing diacritics to an ASCII equivalent. For example, if you use data from an external HR system to create new users in Active Directory, but you do not want user names to contain diacritics, you can use this function to prevent this.

The table below gives an overview of the most common characters containing diacritics and how they are converted using the function @[REPLACE-DIACRITICS]:
