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

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 ...

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 ...
