Emacs has loads of stuff that I don't know or don't have time to study.
:-) But thanks for your ucs-normalize hint. An ASCII normalization and
filter could be something like this:


    (defun my-ascii-normalize-filter (string)
      (require 'cl-lib)
      (cl-remove-if (lambda (char)
                      (> char 127))
                    (ucs-normalize-NFKD-string string)))

Maybe one could want to filter out control chars too...
