Can somebody please provide some sample code to strip diacritical marks (i.e., replace characters having accents, umlauts, etc., with their unaccented, unumlauted, etc., character equivalents, e.g., every accented é would become a plain ASCII e) from a UnicodeString using the ICU library in C++? E.g.:

UnicodeString strip_diacritics( UnicodeString const &s ) {
    UnicodeString result;
    // ...
    return result;
}

Assume that s has already been normalized. Thanks.
