/**

 * \brief C API: Unicode Normalization 
 *
 * <h2>  Unicode normalization API </h2>
 *
 * <tt>u_normalize</tt> transforms Unicode text into an equivalent composed or
 * decomposed form, allowing for easier sorting and searching of text.
 * <tt>u_normalize</tt> supports the standard normalization forms described in
 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/" target="unicode">
 * Unicode Technical Report #15</a>.
 * <p>
 * Characters with accents or other adornments can be encoded in
 * several different ways in Unicode.  For example, take the character "Á"
 * (A-acute).   In Unicode, this can be encoded as a single character (the
 * "composed" form):
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *      00C1    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * or as two separate characters (the "decomposed" form):
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *      0041    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
 *      0301    COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT</pre>
 * \endcode
 * <p>
 * To a user of your program, however, both of these sequences should be
 * treated as the same "user-level" character "Á".  When you are searching or
 * comparing text, you must ensure that these two sequences are treated 
 * equivalently.  In addition, you must handle characters with more than one
 * accent.  Sometimes the order of a character's combining accents is
 * significant, while in other cases accent sequences in different orders are
 * really equivalent.
 * <p>
 * Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters:
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *      0066    LATIN SMALL LETTER F
 *      0066    LATIN SMALL LETTER F
 *      0069    LATIN SMALL LETTER I
 * \endcode
 * </pre>
 * or as the single character
 * <pre>
 * \code
 *      FB03    LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI</pre>
 * \endcode
 * <p>
 * The ffi ligature is not a distinct semantic character, and strictly speaking
 * it shouldn't be in Unicode at all, but it was included for compatibility
 * with existing character sets that already provided it.  The Unicode standard
 * identifies such characters by giving them "compatibility" decompositions
 * into the corresponding semantic characters.  When sorting and searching, you
 * will often want to use these mappings.
 * <p>
 * <tt>u_normalize</tt> helps solve these problems by transforming text into the
 * canonical composed and decomposed forms as shown in the first example above.  
 * In addition, you can have it perform compatibility decompositions so that 
 * you can treat compatibility characters the same as their equivalents.
 * Finally, <tt>u_normalize</tt> rearranges accents into the proper canonical
 * order, so that you do not have to worry about accent rearrangement on your
 * own.
 * <p>
 * <tt>u_normalize</tt> adds one optional behavior, {@link #UCOL_IGNORE_HANGUL},
 * that differs from
 * the standard Unicode Normalization Forms.
