Hi Folks,
The W3C recommends [1] text sent out over the Internet be in Normalized Form C
(NFC):
This document therefore chooses NFC as the
base for Web-related early normalization.
So why would one ever generate text in decomposed form (NFD)?
Do any programming languages output text in NFD? Does Java? Python? C#? Perl?
JavaScript?
Do any tools produce text in NFD?
Should I assume that any text my applications receive will always be normalized
to NFC form?
Is NFD dead?
