For an IDE, this is a little bit more complicated. I.e. searching for a ç in a source file needs to find both the composed and the decomposed variant, and in the case of UTF-8, this character can be encoded in 1, 2, 3 or 4 bytes which all need to be found. This is where UTF-16 and UTF-32 start to make sense.
Characters can also be decomposed in UTF-16 and in UTF-32 (for the same reasons as in UTF-8).
