```auto
function alphaWord(text) {
  // set up the replacement array
  let alphaWord = ["Alpha", "Bravo", "Charlie", "Delta", "Echo",
  "Foxtrot", "Golf", "Hotel", "India", "Juliet", "Kilo", "Lima",
  "Mike", "November", "Oscar", "Papa", "Quebec", "Romeo", "Sierra",
  "Tango", "Uniform", "Victor", "Whiskey", "X-ray", "Yankee", "Zulu"]
  let result = '';
  
  // replace graphemes and diacritics. Credit to https://stackoverflow.com/a/37511463/1899661
  text = text.normalize("NFD").replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, "");
  // convert to uppercase
  text = text.toUpperCase();
  let unicodeNum;
  
  for (var i = 0; i < text.length; i++){
    unicodeNum = text.charCodeAt(i) - 65;
    if ((unicodeNum > -1) && (unicodeNum < 26)) {
      result += alphaWord[unicodeNum] + " ";
    } else {
      result += "";
    }
  }
  
  return result.trim().replace(/ /g, '·')
