 encode: aString

single character substitutions via tr

Usage example(s):

self basicNew encode:'müller' -> 'MYLR' self basicNew encode:'mueller' -> 'MYLR' self basicNew encode:'möller' -> 'MYLR' self basicNew encode:'miller' -> 'MYLR' self basicNew encode:'muller' -> 'MULR' self basicNew encode:'muler' -> 'MULR' self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'müller' #('MYLR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'mueller' #('MYLR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'möller' #('MYLR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'miller' #('MYLR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'muller' #('MULR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'muler' #('MULR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'schmidt' #('CMYD') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'schneider' #('CNAYDR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'fischer' #('VYCR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'weber' #('VBR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'weeber' #('VBR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'webber' #('VBR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'wepper' #('VBR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'meyer' #('MAYR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'maier' #('MAYR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'mayer' #('MAYR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'mayr' #('MAYR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'meir' #('MAYR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'wagner' #('VACNR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'schulz' #('CULC') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'becker' #('BCR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'hoffmann' #('OVMAN') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'haus' #('AUS') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'schäfer' #('CVR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'scheffer' #('CVR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'schaeffer' #('CVR') self basicNew phoneticStringsFor:'schaefer' #('CVR')
