If one character is to be replaced by another character (just one), you can do something like that (the echo is for debug purpose):
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# ScriptFile: special_rename
from='àéêèïù'
  to='aeeeiu'
ls *[${from}]* |
while read filename
do
   echo mv ${filename} $(echo ${filename} | tr "$from" "$to")
done

Execution:
Code:
$ touch téléphone à_voir
$ special_rename
mv téléphone telephone
mv à_voir a_voir
$
