So, I guess I was foolish to hope that Google has figured out how to return results that have non-identical but equivalent strings? I hope it's not too off-topic for this list, but can you point me to any good resources on normalization (is there a straightforward automation for someone who

Unicode normalization was discussed on this list a couple of months ago. Phil Taylor provided a small program to do the job, and other utilities were referred to. There's also a command within XeTeX that normalizes unicode before passing it to TeX's digestion. Try this in your header: %
