> if you need to project (transliterate to ascii) Chinese unidecode is close to black magic That might be a dangerous assumption. The project page explicitly states: > Transliteration of languages like Chinese is a very complex issue and this library does not even attempt to address it.

The results will certainly be incorrect in some contexts.
