I believe the OP will need to identify all the characters he would like to see converted, and code the conversion rules himself using the tr/// or s/// operator.

Yes I think that it might not be any standard transforming algorithm for doing this, and the program that do that, do their own transform.
So finally I've decided to try finding all the possible chars with tildes, acute or grave accents, umlauts, etc, and replace using tr//.

I hope I won't have any issues, because the chars are UTF-8.

Well, then you'll probably need to identify the utf8 octet sequences that correspond to the special characters you want to see transformed.
