Non-ASCII Accented Characters issue in Batch Rename

Trying to replace accented characters like éèêëàâä… with their ASCII plain-letter equivalent (in these examples, e and a) failed.
I even tried using Unicode and Regex, but it looks impossible.

I aimed to clean file names with no non-ASCII characters, space, or underscore…

The bug is still there, but I found a solution online that finds Non-ASCII characters and replaces them with their plain-letter equivalent.

Regex to find Non-ASCII characters using Regex (leave the Replace field empty):
[^\x00-\x7F]+

The rest in the screenshot is still in WIP
