Lose

As a response to Flay, which flays the diacritical marks off your strings, Lose loses the base characters but keeps the combining diacritical marks.

API

lose(string)

var lose = require('lose');

-- Example --

const splitCombiningCharsArray = lose('I’m emailing my friend Chloë from a café in Chișinău.');

splitCombiningCharsArray.forEach(i => console.log(`For ${i.character} the diacritical mark is ${i.diacritic}, so we'll split it from ${i.character} and lose ${i.lose}.`));

Output will be:

"For ë the diacritical mark is   ̈  , so we'll split it from ë and lose e."
"For é the diacritical mark is   ́  , so we'll split it from é and lose e."
"For ș the diacritical mark is   ̗  , so we'll split it from ŗ and lose r."
"For ă the diacritical mark is   ̆  , so we'll split it from ă and lose a."
