+It often happens that you have non-Roman text data in Unicode, but you
+can't display it -- usually because you're trying to show it to a user
+via an application that doesn't support Unicode, or because the fonts
+you need aren't accessible. You could represent the Unicode characters
+as "???????" or "\15BA\15A0\1610...", but that's nearly useless to the
+user who actually wants to read what the text says.
+
+What Text::Unidecode provides is a function, unidecode(...) that takes
+Unicode data and tries to represent it in US-ASCII characters.
