    If you want to go deeper into what is going on, read the ICU projects docs: http://userguide.icu-project.org/transforms/general

    This API call is basically just wrapper around ICU Transliteration.

    A good example of create for non latin languages is Turkish.

    There both upper case I character and lowercase ı character which makes other strtolower kind of functions useless.

    $text = "Iğdır";

    echo Transliterator::create("tr-Lower")->transliterate($text);

    will return the correct result ığdır, not iğdır .

    // Translit each and every char to ASCII

    $string = 'Москва́';
    $string = Transliterator::create('Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII')->transliterate($string);

    print $string;

    // the result is "Moskva"
