Second - added use of combining() solution in Clear category for Remove Accents by robertabegg

def checkio(in_string):
"""
Remove accented characters from in_string.
Unicode accented chars can be represented by two characters that combine
to a single printable char, or by a single character value.
Normalize to NFD converts all accented characters to the base character and
the computational accent char.
The accent characters are examples of combining chars.
