Unicode normalization API

* * unorm_normalize transforms Unicode text into an equivalent composed or * decomposed form, allowing for easier sorting and searching of text. * unorm_normalize supports the standard normalization forms described in * * Unicode Standard Annex #15 — Unicode Normalization Forms. * * Characters with accents or other adornments can be encoded in * several different ways in Unicode. For example, take the character A-acute. * In Unicode, this can be encoded as a single character (the * "composed" form): * * \code * 00C1 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE * \endcode * * or as two separate characters (the "decomposed" form): * * \code * 0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A * 0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT * \endcode * * To a user of your program, however, both of these sequences should be * treated as the same "user-level" character "A with acute accent". 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. * * Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters: * * \code * 0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F * 0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F * 0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I * \endcode * * or as the single character * * \code * FB03 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI * \endcode * * 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. * * unorm_normalize 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, unorm_normalize rearranges accents into the proper canonical * order, so that you do not have to worry about accent rearrangement on your * own. * * Form FCD, "Fast C or D", is also designed for collation. * It allows to work on strings that are not necessarily normalized * with an algorithm (like in collation) that works under "canonical closure", i.e., it treats precomposed * characters and their decomposed equivalents the same. * * It is not a normalization form because it does not provide for uniqueness of representation. Multiple strings * may be canonically equivalent (their NFDs are identical) and may all conform to FCD without being identical * themselves. * * The form is defined such that the "raw decomposition", the recursive canonical decomposition of each character, * results in a string that is canonically ordered. This means that precomposed characters are allowed for as long * as their decompositions do not need canonical reordering. * * Its advantage for a process like collation is that all NFD and most NFC texts - and many unnormalized texts - * already conform to FCD and do not need to be normalized (NFD) for such a process. The FCD quick check will * return UNORM_YES for most strings in practice. * * unorm_normalize(UNORM_FCD) may be implemented with UNORM_NFD. * * For more details on FCD see the collation design document: * http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/icuhtml/design/collation/ICU_collation_design.htm * * ICU collation performs either NFD or FCD normalization automatically if normalization * is turned on for the collator object. * Beyond collation and string search, normalized strings may be useful for string equivalence comparisons, * transliteration/transcription, unique representations, etc. * * The W3C generally recommends to exchange texts in NFC. * Note also that most legacy character encodings use only precomposed forms and often do not * encode any combining marks by themselves. For conversion to such character encodings the * Unicode text needs to be normalized to NFC. * For more usage examples, see the Unicode Standard Annex. */ /** * Constants for normalization modes. * @stable except for deprecated constants */ typedef enum { /** No decomposition/composition. @stable */ UNORM_NONE = 1, /** Canonical decomposition. @stable */ UNORM_NFD = 2, /** Compatibility decomposition. @stable */ UNORM_NFKD = 3, /** Canonical decomposition followed by canonical composition. @stable */ UNORM_NFC = 4, /** Default normalization. @stable */ UNORM_DEFAULT = UNORM_NFC, /** Compatibility decomposition followed by canonical composition. @stable */ UNORM_NFKC =5, /** "Fast C or D" form. @draft ICU 2.0 */ UNORM_FCD = 6, /** One more than the highest normalization mode constant. @stable */ UNORM_MODE_COUNT, /* *** The rest of this enum is entirely deprecated. *** */ /** * No decomposition/composition * @deprecated To be removed after 2002-sep-30, use UNORM_NONE. */ UCOL_NO_NORMALIZATION = 1, /** * Canonical decomposition * @deprecated To be removed after 2002-sep-30, use UNORM_NFD. */ UCOL_DECOMP_CAN = 2, /** * Compatibility decomposition * @deprecated To be removed after 2002-sep-30, use UNORM_NFKD. */ UCOL_DECOMP_COMPAT = 3, /** * Default normalization * @deprecated To be removed after 2002-sep-30, use UNORM_NFKD or UNORM_DEFAULT. */ UCOL_DEFAULT_NORMALIZATION = UCOL_DECOMP_COMPAT, /** * Canonical decomposition followed by canonical composition * @deprecated To be removed after 2002-sep-30, use UNORM_NFC. */ UCOL_DECOMP_CAN_COMP_COMPAT = 4, /** * Compatibility decomposition followed by canonical composition * @deprecated To be removed after 2002-sep-30, use UNORM_NFKC. */ UCOL_DECOMP_COMPAT_COMP_CAN =5, /** * Do not normalize Hangul. * @deprecated To be removed without replacement after 2002-mar-31. */ UCOL_IGNORE_HANGUL = 16, /** * Do not normalize Hangul. * @deprecated To be removed without replacement after 2002-mar-31. */ UNORM_IGNORE_HANGUL = 16 } UNormalizationMode; /** * Normalize a string. * The string will be normalized according the specified normalization mode * and options (there are currently no options defined). * * @param source The string to normalize. * @param sourceLength The length of source, or -1 if NUL-terminated. * @param mode The normalization mode; one of UNORM_NONE, * UNORM_NFD, UNORM_NFC, UNORM_NFKC, UNORM_NFKD, UNORM_DEFAULT. * @param options The normalization options, ORed together (0 for no options); * currently there is no option defined. * @param result A pointer to a buffer to receive the result string. * The result string is NUL-terminated if possible. * @param resultLength The maximum size of result. * @param status A pointer to a UErrorCode to receive any errors. * @return The total buffer size needed; if greater than resultLength, * the output was truncated, and the error code is set to U_BUFFER_OVERFLOW_ERROR. * @stable */ U_CAPI int32_t U_EXPORT2 unorm_normalize(const UChar *source, int32_t sourceLength, UNormalizationMode mode, int32_t options, UChar *result, int32_t resultLength, UErrorCode *status); /** * The function u_normalize() has been renamed to unorm_normalize() * for consistency.
