Description: <description here>
It often happens that you have non-Roman text data in Unicode, but you
can't display it -- usually because you're trying to show it to a user via
an application that doesn't support Unicode, or because the fonts you need
aren't accessible. You could represent the Unicode characters as "???????"
or " BA A0q0...", but that's nearly useless to the user who actually wants
to read what the text says.

What Unidecode provides is a function, 'unidecode(...)' that takes Unicode
data and tries to represent it in ASCII characters (i.e., the universally
displayable characters between 0x00 and 0x7F). The representation is almost
always an attempt at transliteration -- i.e., conveying, in Roman letters,
the pronunciation expressed by the text in some other writing system.

For example 'unidecode(u"u5317u4EB0")' returns 'Bei Jing'.

This is a Python port of Text::Unidecode Perl module by
Sean M. Burke.
