Remove Punctuation

Strip punctuation and optionally symbols, using Unicode categories.

Strips punctuation using Unicode categories rather than a list of ASCII characters, so typographic quotes, em dashes and CJK punctuation are handled too. Apostrophes and hyphens can be kept, because removing them splits "don't" and "well-known" into separate words.

Options
