This is not a fix, but as a work around you can try % encoding your urls. For
example a url that contained the old way of writing (hopefully i get these
characters right) MALAYALAM LETTER CHILLU LL  (aka U+D33 U+D4D U+200D):
http://example.com/ള്‍ Can be written in the wiki as
http://example.com/%E0%B4%B3%E0%B5%8D%E2%80%8D and that should not be
automatically converted to the new form (aka 'MALAYALAM LETTER CHILLU LL'
(U+0D7E) which has the % encoding form of http://example.com/E0%B5%BE )


Note, I'm changing the component from Database to internationalization as I
believe that internationalization is a better component for unicode
normalization issues.
