> How does windows (and Python on windows) handle NFC versus NFD issues?
That's left to the application. > Can I have two files called "ümlaut.txt", one in NFD and one NFC form? Yes, you can. It sounds confusing, but only in a theoretical way. You never have combining characters on Windows (at least, I don't). The keyboard input defaults to NFC, and users normally don't type file names, anyways, except when creating the files - later, they just use the mouse to indicate what file they want to act on. > And are both of those representable on the Python side (i.e. can they > both be returned from listdir() and passed to open())? Certainly! > CIf I compare > these two filenames, do they compare differently? Certainly!
