def remove_accents(text):
    '''Removes accents from the text

    Returns the text with all accents removed

    Using “from unidecode import unidecode” is more
    sophisticated, but I am not sure whether I can require
    “unidecode”.

    :param text: The text to change
    :type text: string
    :rtype: string

    Examples:

    >>> remove_accents('Ångstrøm')
    'Angstrom'

    >>> remove_accents('ÅÆ挜?øß?ü')
    'AAEaeOEoeijossSSu'

    '''
    return ''.join([
        x for x in unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', text)
        if unicodedata.category(x) != 'Mn']).translate(TRANS_TABLE)
