# strip-combining-marks [](https://travis-ci.org/mathiasbynens/strip-combining-marks) [](https://gemnasium.com/mathiasbynens/strip-combining-marks)
_strip-combining-marks_ removes Unicode combining marks from strings. It leaves unmatched combining marks (i.e. marks that appear at the start of the string, and don’t belong to a symbol) intact.
## Installation
Via [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
```bash
npm install strip-combining-marks
```
Via [Bower](http://bower.io/):
```bash
bower install strip-combining-marks
```
Via [Component](https://github.com/component/component):
```bash
component install mathiasbynens/strip-combining-marks
```
In a browser:
```html
```
In [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/), [io.js](https://iojs.org/), [Narwhal](http://narwhaljs.org/), and [RingoJS](http://ringojs.org/):
```js
var stripCombiningMarks = require('strip-combining-marks');
```
In [Rhino](http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/):
```js
load('strip-combining-marks.js');
```
Using an AMD loader like [RequireJS](http://requirejs.org/):
```js
require(
{
'paths': {
'strip-combining-marks': 'path/to/strip-combining-marks'
}
},
['strip-combining-marks'],
function(stripCombiningMarks) {
console.log(stripCombiningMarks);
}
);
```
## API
### `stripCombiningMarks.version`
A string representing the semantic version number.
### `stripCombiningMarks.reverse(string)`
This function takes a string and returns the stripped version of that string, where any combining marks that were applied to other symbols have been removed.
#### Usage example
```js
stripCombiningMarks('Z͑ͫ̓ͪ̂ͫ̽͏̴̙̤̞͉͚̯̞̠͍A̴̵̜̰͔ͫ͗͢L̠ͨͧͩ͘G̴̻͈͍͔̹̑͗̎̅͛́Ǫ̵̹̻̝̳͂̌̌͘!͖̬̰̙̗̿̋ͥͥ̂ͣ̐́́͜͞');
'ZALGO!'
```
## Support

## Unit tests & code coverage
After cloning this repository, run `npm install` to install the dependencies needed for strip-combining-marks development and testing. You may want to install Istanbul _globally_ using `npm install istanbul -g`.
Once that’s done, you can run the unit tests in Node using `npm test` or `node tests/tests.js`. To run the tests in Rhino, Ringo, Narwhal, and web browsers as well, use `grunt test`.
To generate the code coverage report, use `grunt cover`.
