* Converts a string by replacing special characters and diacritical marks with their ASCII equivalents.

* @example
* // Basic usage:
* deburr('Æthelred') // returns 'Aethelred'

* @example
* // Handling diacritical marks:
* deburr('München') // returns 'Munchen'

* // Special characters:
* deburr('Crème brûlée') // returns 'Creme brulee'
