41 /**
42  * This class provides the method <code>normalize</code> which transforms Unicode
43  * text into an equivalent composed or decomposed form, allowing for easier
44  * sorting and searching of text.
45  * The <code>normalize</code> method supports the standard normalization forms
46  * described in
47  * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/tr15-23.html">
48  * Unicode Standard Annex #15 &mdash; Unicode Normalization Forms</a>.
49  * <p>
50  * Characters with accents or other adornments can be encoded in
51  * several different ways in Unicode.  For example, take the character A-acute.
52  * In Unicode, this can be encoded as a single character (the "composed" form):
53  *
54  * <pre>
55  *      U+00C1    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE</pre>
56  *
57  * or as two separate characters (the "decomposed" form):
58  *
59  * <pre>
60  *      U+0041    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
61  *      U+0301    COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT</pre>
62  *
63  * To a user of your program, however, both of these sequences should be
64  * treated as the same "user-level" character "A with acute accent".  When you
65  * are searching or comparing text, you must ensure that these two sequences are
66  * treated as equivalent.  In addition, you must handle characters with more than
67  * one accent. Sometimes the order of a character's combining accents is
68  * significant, while in other cases accent sequences in different orders are
69  * really equivalent.
70  * <p>
71  * Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters:
72  *
73  * <pre>
74  *      U+0066    LATIN SMALL LETTER F
75  *      U+0066    LATIN SMALL LETTER F
76  *      U+0069    LATIN SMALL LETTER I</pre>
77  *
78  * or as the single character
79  *
80  * <pre>
81  *      U+FB03    LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI</pre>
82  *
83  * The ffi ligature is not a distinct semantic character, and strictly speaking
84  * it shouldn't be in Unicode at all, but it was included for compatibility
85  * with existing character sets that already provided it.  The Unicode standard
86  * identifies such characters by giving them "compatibility" decompositions
87  * into the corresponding semantic characters.  When sorting and searching, you
88  * will often want to use these mappings.
89  * <p>
90  * The <code>normalize</code> method helps solve these problems by transforming
91  * text into the canonical composed and decomposed forms as shown in the first
92  * example above. In addition, you can have it perform compatibility
93  * decompositions so that you can treat compatibility characters the same as
94  * their equivalents.
95  * Finally, the <code>normalize</code> method rearranges accents into the
96  * proper canonical order, so that you do not have to worry about accent
97  * rearrangement on your own.
98  * <p>
99  * The W3C generally recommends to exchange texts in NFC.
100  * Note also that most legacy character encodings use only precomposed forms and
101  * often do not encode any combining marks by themselves. For conversion to such
102  * character encodings the Unicode text needs to be normalized to NFC.
103  * For more usage examples, see the Unicode Standard Annex.
