Some Unicode characters can also be written as two ASCII letters (e.g.: ß -> ss, å -> aa). Is there any way to convert these in Python, without having a list with all of them?
This kind of conversion is done by a lof of websites, including Stackoverflow (url from this page was converted), and Twitter. I'm curious how they do it.

In Python, the built-in functions chr() and ord() are used to convert between Unicode code points and characters. A character can also be represented by writing a hexadecimal Unicode code point with \x , \u , or \U in a string literal.
Web content can be written in any of these languages and can also include a variety of emoji symbols. Python's string type uses the Unicode Standard for representing characters, which lets Python programs work with all these different possible characters.
You have two options to create Unicode string in Python. Either use decode() , or create a new Unicode string with UTF-8 encoding by unicode(). The unicode() method is unicode(string[, encoding, errors]) , its arguments should be 8-bit strings.
Use the "\u" escape sequence to print Unicode characters In a string, place "\u" before four hexadecimal digits that represent a Unicode code point. Use print() to print the string.
There are no universal rules.
You could try unidecode module to transliterate Unicode text to ASCII.
