  Try this

  private static string normalizeString(string s)
  {
      string n = s.Normalize(NormalizationForm.FormD);
      StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(n);
      for (int i = 0; i < sb.Length; i++)
      {
          if (CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(sb[i]) == UnicodeCategory.NonSpacingMark)
              sb.Remove(i, 1);
      }
      return sb.ToString();
  }
