Remark plugin to transform basic markdown into utf8 special characters. Useful for when your output is going into plaintext, not HTML.
$ yarn add remark-utf8
// or
$ npm install remark-utf8
import remark from "remark";
import utf8 from "remark-utf8";
const markdownString = `
Just open sourced **remark-utf8** as a standalone plugin. Use _emphasis_, \`monospace fonts\` and **bolds** wherever. Careful about those screen readers tho ✌️

`;
remark()
.use(utf8)
.process(markdownString, function(err, output) {
console.log(output.contents);
});Outputs something like:

Use responsibly.
This messes with screen readers. Make sure you are okay with inaccessible text before using this. ✌️
