Normalization is a process that involves transforming characters and sequences of characters into a formally-defined underlying representation. This process is most important when text needs to be compared for sorting and searching, but it is also used when storing text to ensure that the text is stored in a consistent representation.
The Unicode Consortium has defined a number of normalization forms reflecting the various needs of applications:
The following constants define the normalization form used by the normalizer:
Normalizer::FORM_C
int
Normalization Form C (NFC) - Canonical Decomposition followed by Canonical Composition
Normalizer::FORM_D
int
Normalization Form D (NFD) - Canonical Decomposition
Normalizer::NFD
int
Normalizer::FORM_KC
int
Normalization Form KC (NFKC) - Compatibility Decomposition, followed by Canonical Composition
Normalizer::NFKC
int
Normalizer::FORM_KC_CF
int
Normalizer::FORM_KD
int
Normalization Form KD (NFKD) - Compatibility Decomposition
Normalizer::NFKD
int
Normalizer::NFC
int
Normalizer::NFKC_CF
int
