Well, I think that this is not the point, but only now do I realize
that we are completely off topic!

So here is my snippet of code, usful mostly for Italians, but adaptable
for other people needing to convert to and from accented letters.


(defun do-accent (subst-list)
  (dolist (pair subst-list)
    (save-excursion
      (while (re-search-forward (car pair) nil t)
        (replace-match (cdr pair) t)))))

(defun accent-en-ascii ()
  (interactive)
  (do-accent '(("a`" . "\340") ("e`" . "\350") ("e'" . "\351")
               ("E`" . "\310") ("i`" . "\354")
               ("o`" . "\362") ("u`" . "\371")
               ("ch\350\\>" . "ch\351") ("\\<n\350\\>" . "n\351"))))

(defun accent-en-ascii-reverse ()
  (interactive)
  (do-accent '(("a'" . "\340") ("e'" . "\350")
               ("E'" . "\310") ("i'" . "\354")
               ("o'" . "\362") ("u'" . "\371")
               ("\\<ch\350\\>" . "ch\351") ("\\<n\350\\>" . "n\351"))))

(defun accent-de-ascii ()
  (interactive)
  (do-accent '(("\340" . "a`") ("\350" . "e`")
               ("\310" . "E`") ("\351" . "e`")
               ("\354" . "i`") ("\362" . "o`")
               ("\371" . "u`"))))

(defun accent-en-utf8 ()
  (interactive)
  (do-accent '(("\303\240" . "\340") ("\303\250" . "\350")
               ("\303\210" . "\310") ("\303\254" . "\354")
               ("\303\262" . "\362") ("\303\271" . "\371"))))

(defun accent-en-windows ()
  (interactive)
  (do-accent '(("\205" . "..") ("\226" . "--") ("\200" . "\244")
               ("\221" . "`") ("\222" . "'")
               ("\223" . "\"") ("\224" . "\""))))

(defun accent-en-mistery ()
  (interactive)
  (do-accent '(("ŽàŽÜŽÜŽ¨ŽÜŽîŽ¿ŽÜŽÜŽ©" . "\340") ("ŽèŽÜŽÜŽ¨ŽÜŽîŽ¿ŽÜŽÜŽ©" . 
"\350")
               ("ŽìŽÜŽÜŽ¨ŽÜŽîŽ¿ŽÜŽÜŽ©" . "\354") ("ŽòŽÜŽÜŽ¨ŽÜŽîŽ¿ŽÜŽÜŽ©" . 
"\362")
               ("ŽéŽÜŽÜŽ¨ŽÜŽîŽ¿ŽÜŽÜŽ©" . "\351") ("Ž»ŽÜŽÜŽ¨ŽÜŽîŽ¿ŽÜŽÜŽ©" . "»")
               ("ŽÜŽÜŽ«ŽÜŽÜŽ¨ŽÜŽîŽ¿ŽÜŽÜŽ©" . "«") ("ŽùŽÜŽÜŽ¨ŽÜŽîŽ¿ŽÜŽÜŽ©" . 
"\371"))))
