title: UTF-8 to ASCII using ICU Library
body: <p>I have a std::string with UTF-8 characters in it.<br>
  I want to convert the string to its closest equivalent with ASCII characters.</p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <p>Łódź  =>  Lodz<br>
  Assunção  =>  Assuncao<br>
  Schloß  =>  Schloss</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunatly ICU library is realy unintuitive and I haven't found good documentation on its usage, so it would take me too much time to learn to use it. Time I dont have.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone give a little example about how can this be done??<br>
  thanks.</p>
