Asmus, are you including the case where an accented character maps to two unaccented characters?

e.g. Å to AA or Ä to AE

A question has come up in another context:
 
Is there any linguistic term for describing the process of removing accents and diacritics from a word to create its “base form”, e.g. São Tomé to Sao Tome?
 
The linguistic term "string normalization" appears not that preferable in a computing context.
 
Any ideas?
