29 * \brief C API: Unicode Normalization
31 * Old Unicode normalization API.
33 * This API has been replaced by the unorm2.h API and is only available
34 * for backward compatibility. The functions here simply delegate to the
35 * unorm2.h functions, for example unorm2_getInstance() and unorm2_normalize().
36 * There is one exception: The new API does not provide a replacement for unorm_compare().
37 * Its declaration has been moved to unorm2.h.
39 * <code>unorm_normalize</code> transforms Unicode text into an equivalent composed or
40 * decomposed form, allowing for easier sorting and searching of text.
41 * <code>unorm_normalize</code> supports the standard normalization forms described in
42 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/" target="unicode">
43 * Unicode Standard Annex #15: Unicode Normalization Forms</a>.
45 * Characters with accents or other adornments can be encoded in
46 * several different ways in Unicode. For example, take the character A-acute.
47 * In Unicode, this can be encoded as a single character (the
51 * 00C1 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
54 * or as two separate characters (the "decomposed" form):
57 * 0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
58 * 0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT
61 * To a user of your program, however, both of these sequences should be
62 * treated as the same "user-level" character "A with acute accent". When you are searching or
63 * comparing text, you must ensure that these two sequences are treated
64 * equivalently. In addition, you must handle characters with more than one
65 * accent. Sometimes the order of a character's combining accents is
66 * significant, while in other cases accent sequences in different orders are
69 * Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters:
72 * 0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F
73 * 0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F
74 * 0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I
77 * or as the single character
80 * FB03 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI
83 * The ffi ligature is not a distinct semantic character, and strictly speaking
84 * it shouldn't be in Unicode at all, but it was included for compatibility
85 * with existing character sets that already provided it. The Unicode standard
86 * identifies such characters by giving them "compatibility" decompositions
87 * into the corresponding semantic characters. When sorting and searching, you
88 * will often want to use these mappings.
90 * <code>unorm_normalize</code> helps solve these problems by transforming text into the
91 * canonical composed and decomposed forms as shown in the first example above.
92 * In addition, you can have it perform compatibility decompositions so that
93 * you can treat compatibility characters the same as their equivalents.
94 * Finally, <code>unorm_normalize</code> rearranges accents into the proper canonical
95 * order, so that you do not have to worry about accent rearrangement on your
98 * Form FCD, "Fast C or D", is also designed for collation.
99 * It allows to work on strings that are not necessarily normalized
100 * with an algorithm (like in collation) that works under "canonical closure", i.e., it treats precomposed
101 * characters and their decomposed equivalents the same.
103 * It is not a normalization form because it does not provide for uniqueness of representation. Multiple strings
104 * may be canonically equivalent (their NFDs are identical) and may all conform to FCD without being identical
107 * The form is defined such that the "raw decomposition", the recursive canonical decomposition of each character,
108 * results in a string that is canonically ordered. This means that precomposed characters are allowed for as long
109 * as their decompositions do not need canonical reordering.
111 * Its advantage for a process like collation is that all NFD and most NFC texts - and many unnormalized texts -
112 * already conform to FCD and do not need to be normalized (NFD) for such a process. The FCD quick check will
113 * return UNORM_YES for most strings in practice.
115 * unorm_normalize(UNORM_FCD) may be implemented with UNORM_NFD.
117 * For more details on FCD see the collation design document:
118 * http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/collation/ICU_collation_design.htm
120 * ICU collation performs either NFD or FCD normalization automatically if normalization
121 * is turned on for the collator object.
122 * Beyond collation and string search, normalized strings may be useful for string equivalence comparisons,
123 * transliteration/transcription, unique representations, etc.
125 * The W3C generally recommends to exchange texts in NFC.
126 * Note also that most legacy character encodings use only precomposed forms and often do not
127 * encode any combining marks by themselves. For conversion to such character encodings the
128 * Unicode text needs to be normalized to NFC.
129 * For more usage examples, see the Unicode Standard Annex.

318 * Iterative normalization forward.
319 * This function (together with unorm_previous) is somewhat
320 * similar to the C++ Normalizer class (see its non-static functions).
322 * Iterative normalization is useful when only a small portion of a longer
323 * string/text needs to be processed.
325 * For example, the likelihood may be high that processing the first 10% of some
326 * text will be sufficient to find certain data.
327 * Another example: When one wants to concatenate two normalized strings and get a
328 * normalized result, it is much more efficient to normalize just a small part of
329 * the result around the concatenation place instead of re-normalizing everything.
331 * The input text is an instance of the C character iteration API UCharIterator.
332 * It may wrap around a simple string, a CharacterIterator, a Replaceable, or any
333 * other kind of text object.
335 * If a buffer overflow occurs, then the caller needs to reset the iterator to the
336 * old index and call the function again with a larger buffer - if the caller cares
337 * for the actual output.
338 * Regardless of the output buffer, the iterator will always be moved to the next
339 * normalization boundary.
341 * This function (like unorm_previous) serves two purposes:
343 * 1) To find the next boundary so that the normalization of the part of the text
344 * from the current position to that boundary does not affect and is not affected
345 * by the part of the text beyond that boundary.
347 * 2) To normalize the text up to the boundary.
349 * The second step is optional, per the doNormalize parameter.
350 * It is omitted for operations like string concatenation, where the two adjacent
351 * string ends need to be normalized together.
352 * In such a case, the output buffer will just contain a copy of the text up to the
355 * pNeededToNormalize is an output-only parameter. Its output value is only defined
356 * if normalization was requested (doNormalize) and successful (especially, no
358 * It is useful for operations like a normalizing transliterator, where one would
359 * not want to replace a piece of text if it is not modified.
361 * If doNormalize==TRUE and pNeededToNormalize!=NULL then *pNeeded... is set TRUE
362 * if the normalization was necessary.
364 * If doNormalize==FALSE then *pNeededToNormalize will be set to FALSE.
366 * If the buffer overflows, then *pNeededToNormalize will be undefined;
367 * essentially, whenever U_FAILURE is true (like in buffer overflows), this result
370 * @param src The input text in the form of a C character iterator.
371 * @param dest The output buffer; can be NULL if destCapacity==0 for pure preflighting.
372 * @param destCapacity The number of UChars that fit into dest.
373 * @param mode The normalization mode.
374 * @param options The normalization options, ORed together (0 for no options).
375 * @param doNormalize Indicates if the source text up to the next boundary
376 * is to be normalized (TRUE) or just copied (FALSE).

378 * different text from the input.
