How much shorter/longer are we talking?The reason that we want to use NFC is because the resulting strings are shorter and therefore the effective length of file names can be longer.
For NFD every character such a u-umlaut instead of being represented as a single character is represented as the base character followed by the umlaut character. Depending on the base character involved and the number of modifiers you can be talking about a significant number of
octets. Remember that UTF-8 is an encoding and a four octet Unicode character may take as many as six octets to be represented in UTF-8. It is significant.
