.NET可以将Unicode转换为ASCII以删除“智能引号”等吗?

我们的一些用户使用无法处理Unicode的电子邮件客户端,即使在邮件标头中正确设置了编码等。

我想“规范化”他们收到的内容。我们遇到的最大问题是用户将来自Microsoft Word的内容复制到我们的Web应用程序中,然后通过电子邮件转发该内容 - 包括分数,智能引号以及Word为您帮助插入的所有其他扩展Unicode字符

我猜这里没有明确的解决方案,但在我坐下来开始编写伟大的查找表之前,是否有一些内置的方法可以帮助我开始?

基本上涉及三个阶段。

首先,从其他正常字母中删除重音 - 解析此is here

This paragraph contains “smart quotes” and áccénts and ½ of the problem is fractions

转到

This paragraph contains “smart quotes” and accents and ½ of the problem is fractions

其次,用等效的ASCII替换单个Unicode字符,给出:

This paragraph contains "smart quotes" and accents and ½ of the problem is fractions

在我实现自己的解决方案之前,这是我希望有解决方案的部分。最后,使用合适的ASCII序列替换特定字符 - ½到1/2,依此类推 - 我很确定任何类型的Unicode魔法本身都不支持,但是有人可能已经写了一个合适的查找表我可以重复使用。

有什么想法吗?

谢谢大家的一些非常有用的答案。我意识到实际的问题不是“如何将任何Unicode字符转换为其ASCII后备” - 问题是“我如何将我的客户抱怨转换为他们的ASCII后备” ?

换句话说 - 我们不需要通用的解决方案;对于讲英语的客户,将Word和其他网站的英语内容粘贴到我们的应用程序中,我们需要一种能够在99%的时间内正常工作的解决方案。为此,我分析了八年来通过我们的系统发送的消息,使用此测试查找ASCII编码中无法表示的字符:

///<summary>Determine whether the supplied character is 
///using ASCII encoding.</summary>
bool IsAscii(char inputChar) {
    var ascii = new ASCIIEncoding();
    var asciiChar = (char)(ascii.GetBytes(inputChar.ToString())[0]);
    return(asciiChar == inputChar);
}

然后我经历了由此产生的无法代表的字符集,并手动分配了一个合适的替换字符串。整个批次都捆绑在扩展方法中,因此您可以调用myString.Asciify()将您的字符串转换为合理的ASCII编码近似值。

public static class StringExtensions {
    private static readonly Dictionary<char, string> Replacements = new Dictionary<char, string>();
    /// <summary>Returns the specified string with characters not representable in ASCII codepage 437 converted to a suitable representative equivalent.  Yes, this is lossy.</summary>
    /// <param name="s">A string.</param>
    /// <returns>The supplied string, with smart quotes, fractions, accents and punctuation marks 'normalized' to ASCII equivalents.</returns>
    /// <remarks>This method is lossy. It's a bit of a hack that we use to get clean ASCII text for sending to downlevel e-mail clients.</remarks>
    public static string Asciify(this string s) {
        return (String.Join(String.Empty, s.Select(c => Asciify(c)).ToArray()));
    }

    private static string Asciify(char x) {
        return Replacements.ContainsKey(x) ? (Replacements[x]) : (x.ToString());
    }

    static StringExtensions() {
        Replacements['’'] = "'"; // 75151 occurrences
        Replacements['–'] = "-"; // 23018 occurrences
        Replacements['‘'] = "'"; // 9783 occurrences

        Replacements['ù'] = "u"; // 1 occurrences
        Replacements['‹'] = "<"; // 1 occurrences
        Replacements['±'] = "+/-"; // 1 occurrences
    }
}

请注意,那里有一些相当奇怪的后备 - 就像这一个:

Replacements['³'] = "'"; // 3 occurrences
Replacements['²'] = "'"; // 3 occurrences

那是因为我们的一个用户有一些程序可以将开/关智能引号转换成²和³(比如:他说'helhel³)并且没有人用它们代表取幂,所以这对我们来说可能会很好用,但是YMMV。

我自己遇到了一些问题,同时使用了最初在Word中构建的字符串列表。我发现使用简单的"String".replace(current char/string, new char/string)命令可以很好地工作。我使用的确切代码是智能引号,或者确切地说:左“,右”,“左”和“右”如下:

StringName = StringName.Replace(ChrW(8216), "'")     ' Replaces any left ' with a normal '
StringName = StringName.Replace(ChrW(8217), "'")     ' Replaces any right ' with a normal '
StringName = StringName.Replace(ChrW(8220), """")    ' Replace any left " with a normal "
StringName = StringName.Replace(ChrW(8221), """")    ' Replace any right " with a normal "

我希望这可以帮助那些仍有这个问题的人!

是否有一些内置的方法   让我开始?

我要尝试的第一件事是使用normalization form字符串方法将文本转换为NFKD Normalize。在您链接的问题的答案中提到了这个建议,但我建议使用NFKD而不是NFD,因为NFKD将删除不需要的印刷区别(例如,NBSP→空格或ℂ→C)。

您也可以通过Unicode category进行通用替换。例如,Pd可以替换为-,Nd可以替换为相应的0 - 9数字,而Mn可以替换为空字符串(以删除重音)。 / p>

  

但有人可能会写一篇文章   合适的查找表我可以重复使用。

您可以尝试使用Unidecode程序中的数据,或CLDR

答案 3 :(得分:0)

你永远不应该尝试将Unicode转换为ASCII,因为你最终会遇到比解决问题更多的问题。

这就像尝试将1,114,112个代码点(Unicode 6.0)整合到128个字符中一样。

你认为你会成功吗?

BTW,Unicode中有很多引号,不仅是你提到的引用,而且如果你想要进行转换,请记住转换将取决于语言环境。
