I haven't tried this, but it sounds like translators and Language Engineering folks might be interested.

Subject: [Wikisource-l] An it.source gadget to manage diacritics
To: wikisource list <wikisource-l@lists.wikimedia.org>


Just to let it known, some it.source contributors are using a comfortable gadget to manage diacritics - it can delete, replace or add a pretty large list of diacritical marks to any character with a single click.

It uses .normalize() string method, so decomposing-recomposing (when possible) unicode characters and allowing to manage diacritics alone indipendently from base ascii character. 

Perhaps is this gadget   "rediscovering the wheel"....? Anyway, the code is here: https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-pulsanti-diacritici.js
