Normalisation form C (NFC)
Computer; Unicode standard
A normalisation form that erases any canonical differences, and generally produces a composed result. For example, a + umlaut is converted to ä in this form. This form most closely matches legacy ...
Non-starter decomposition
Computer; Unicode standard
An expanding canonical decomposition which is not a starter decomposition. * Example: U+0344 combining greek dialytika tonos has an expanding canonical decomposition to the sequence . U+0344 is a ...
Normative behaviour
Computer; Unicode standard
The normative behaviours of the Unicode Standard consist of the following list or any other behaviours specified in the conformance clauses: * Character combination * Canonical decomposition * ...
Normalisation
Computer; Unicode standard
A process of removing alternate representations of equivalent sequences from textual data, to convert the data into a form that can be binary-compared for equivalence. In the Unicode Standard, ...
Normalisation form
Computer; Unicode standard
A text normalisation procedure that replaces equivalent sequences of characters so that any two texts that are equivalent will be reduced to the same sequence of code points, called the normal form ...
Normalisation form KC (NFKC)
Computer; Unicode standard
A normalisation form that erases both canonical and compatibility differences, and generally produces a composed result: for example, the single dž character is converted to d + ž in this form. This ...
Normalisation form D (NFD)
Computer; Unicode standard
A normalisation form that erases any canonical differences, and produces a decomposed result. For example, ä is converted to a + umlaut in this form. This form is most often used in internal ...
