The process is known as removing “diacritics” – see Removing diacritics (accents) from strings which uses the following code:

public static String RemoveDiacritics(String s)
{
  String normalizedString = s.Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormD);
  StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

  for (int i = 0; i < normalizedString.Length; i++)
  {
    Char c = normalizedString[i];
    if (CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(c) != UnicodeCategory.NonSpacingMark)
      stringBuilder.Append(c);
  }

  return stringBuilder.ToString();
}
