Ignoring special characters in DataTables search

I've built a simple Datatable, with the employee names and the respective departments.

It's working pretty fine, but now I realized that the search is filtering the strings with special character differently.

For example, there are 4 employees named Joao, two of them is registered as João and the other two Joao, without the ã.

How can I ignore that difference to bring up the four of them by typing 'joao'?

I've found a plugin DataTable website, but I can't get it running, I don't know where to put it:

https://datatables.net/plug-ins/filtering/type-based/accent-neutralise

Here is the DataTable construction:

 $('#dataTable').DataTable({
        language:{
            "sEmptyTable": "Nenhum registro encontrado",
            "sInfo": "Mostrando de _START_ até _END_ de _TOTAL_ registros",
            "sInfoEmpty": "Mostrando 0 até 0 de 0 registros",
            "sInfoFiltered": "(Filtrados de _MAX_ registros)",
            "sInfoPostFix": "",
            "sInfoThousands": ".",
            "sLengthMenu": "_MENU_ resultados por página",
            "sLoadingRecords": "Carregando...",
            "sProcessing": "Processando...",
            "sZeroRecords": "Nenhum registro encontrado",
            "sSearch": "Pesquisar",
            "oPaginate": {
                "sNext": "Próximo",
                "sPrevious": "Anterior",
                "sFirst": "Primeiro",
                "sLast": "Último"
            },
            "oAria": {
                "sSortAscending": ": Ordenar colunas de forma ascendente",
                "sSortDescending": ": Ordenar colunas de forma descendente"
            },
            dom:"iptrt",
        }


    });
    $('.dataTables_filter').addClass('pull-left');
    $('.dataTables_filter input').addClass('filter-input');
    $('.dataTables_length').addClass('pull-right');

You can normalize the data in the column with accented characters(diacritics) or you may add a hidden column to a table, which is calculated by normalizing a string from existing column with diacritics

const ds = "João";
ds.normalize('NFD').replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, ""); // "Joao"
