/**
* \file
* \brief C API: Unicode Normalization
*
* <h2> Unicode normalization API </h2>
*
* <tt>unorm_normalize</tt> transforms Unicode text into an equivalent composed or
* decomposed form, allowing for easier sorting and searching of text.
* <tt>unorm_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 "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.
* <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>unorm_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>unorm_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>unorm_normalize</tt> adds one optional behavior, {@link #UCOL_IGNORE_HANGUL},
* that differs from
* the standard Unicode Normalization Forms.
