Hi, Peter-san Thank you for your quick reply. I think that this profile is similar to the nickname profile too.
However, even though NKFC has the benefit of increasing the probability of comparison matching, the aggressive normalization may create a problem. Using NKFC on some characters may cause changes on the character’s form and byte length that would confuse users. For this reason, I chose NFC and width mapping. Last year, I conducted a research in Singapore (a country that uses English, Chinese, and Malay as the official languages) on the names that are attached on hosts by users. I found that there were several machines that use special characters as host names. Thus, this profile is intended to allow as many characters as possible while increasing the probability of comparison matching and I think NFC and width mapping would be appropriate for preprocessing of names for aliases of machines that are used on daily basis. For this reason, I would like to do a little more research to understand the necessity of this profile processing. Please let me know if you have any questions and concerns. Your comment will be greatly appreciated.
