Description

It's a cool library, but i'm fearful that it won't slugify everything.

Chinese characters are just deleted.

slugify('你好'); // results in an empty string

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current transliteration logic to understand why Chinese characters are being removed. Look for existing Unicode mapping tables and add support for CJK characters.
