27 * \brief C API: Unicode Normalization
29 * <h2>Unicode normalization API</h2>
31 * Note: This API has been replaced by the unorm2.h API and is only available
32 * for backward compatibility. The functions here simply delegate to the
33 * unorm2.h functions, for example unorm2_getInstance() and unorm2_normalize().
34 * There is one exception: The new API does not provide a replacement for unorm_compare().
36 * <code>unorm_normalize</code> transforms Unicode text into an equivalent composed or
37 * decomposed form, allowing for easier sorting and searching of text.
38 * <code>unorm_normalize</code> supports the standard normalization forms described in
39 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/" target="unicode">
40 * Unicode Standard Annex #15: Unicode Normalization Forms</a>.
42 * Characters with accents or other adornments can be encoded in
43 * several different ways in Unicode. For example, take the character A-acute.
44 * In Unicode, this can be encoded as a single character (the
48 * 00C1 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
51 * or as two separate characters (the "decomposed" form):
54 * 0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
55 * 0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT
58 * To a user of your program, however, both of these sequences should be
59 * treated as the same "user-level" character "A with acute accent". When you are searching or
60 * comparing text, you must ensure that these two sequences are treated
61 * equivalently. In addition, you must handle characters with more than one
62 * accent. Sometimes the order of a character's combining accents is
63 * significant, while in other cases accent sequences in different orders are
66 * Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters:
69 * 0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F
70 * 0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F
71 * 0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I
74 * or as the single character
77 * FB03 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI
80 * The ffi ligature is not a distinct semantic character, and strictly speaking
81 * it shouldn't be in Unicode at all, but it was included for compatibility
82 * with existing character sets that already provided it. The Unicode standard
83 * identifies such characters by giving them "compatibility" decompositions
84 * into the corresponding semantic characters. When sorting and searching, you
85 * will often want to use these mappings.
87 * <code>unorm_normalize</code> helps solve these problems by transforming text into the
88 * canonical composed and decomposed forms as shown in the first example above.
89 * In addition, you can have it perform compatibility decompositions so that
90 * you can treat compatibility characters the same as their equivalents.
91 * Finally, <code>unorm_normalize</code> rearranges accents into the proper canonical
92 * order, so that you do not have to worry about accent rearrangement on your
95 * Form FCD, "Fast C or D", is also designed for collation.
96 * It allows to work on strings that are not necessarily normalized
97 * with an algorithm (like in collation) that works under "canonical closure", i.e., it treats precomposed
98 * characters and their decomposed equivalents the same.
100 * It is not a normalization form because it does not provide for uniqueness of representation. Multiple strings
101 * may be canonically equivalent (their NFDs are identical) and may all conform to FCD without being identical
104 * The form is defined such that the "raw decomposition", the recursive canonical decomposition of each character,
105 * results in a string that is canonically ordered. This means that precomposed characters are allowed for as long
106 * as their decompositions do not need canonical reordering.
108 * Its advantage for a process like collation is that all NFD and most NFC texts - and many unnormalized texts -
109 * already conform to FCD and do not need to be normalized (NFD) for such a process. The FCD quick check will
110 * return UNORM_YES for most strings in practice.
112 * unorm_normalize(UNORM_FCD) may be implemented with UNORM_NFD.
114 * For more details on FCD see the collation design document:
115 * http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/collation/ICU_collation_design.htm
117 * ICU collation performs either NFD or FCD normalization automatically if normalization
118 * is turned on for the collator object.
119 * Beyond collation and string search, normalized strings may be useful for string equivalence comparisons,
120 * transliteration/transcription, unique representations, etc.
122 * The W3C generally recommends to exchange texts in NFC.
123 * Note also that most legacy character encodings use only precomposed forms and often do not
124 * encode any combining marks by themselves. For conversion to such character encodings the
125 * Unicode text needs to be normalized to NFC.
126 * For more usage examples, see the Unicode Standard Annex.

307 * Iterative normalization forward.
308 * This function (together with unorm_previous) is somewhat
309 * similar to the C++ Normalizer class (see its non-static functions).
311 * Iterative normalization is useful when only a small portion of a longer
312 * string/text needs to be processed.
314 * For example, the likelihood may be high that processing the first 10% of some
315 * text will be sufficient to find certain data.
316 * Another example: When one wants to concatenate two normalized strings and get a
317 * normalized result, it is much more efficient to normalize just a small part of
318 * the result around the concatenation place instead of re-normalizing everything.
320 * The input text is an instance of the C character iteration API UCharIterator.
321 * It may wrap around a simple string, a CharacterIterator, a Replaceable, or any
322 * other kind of text object.
324 * If a buffer overflow occurs, then the caller needs to reset the iterator to the
325 * old index and call the function again with a larger buffer - if the caller cares
326 * for the actual output.
327 * Regardless of the output buffer, the iterator will always be moved to the next
328 * normalization boundary.
330 * This function (like unorm_previous) serves two purposes:
332 * 1) To find the next boundary so that the normalization of the part of the text
333 * from the current position to that boundary does not affect and is not affected
334 * by the part of the text beyond that boundary.
336 * 2) To normalize the text up to the boundary.
338 * The second step is optional, per the doNormalize parameter.
339 * It is omitted for operations like string concatenation, where the two adjacent
340 * string ends need to be normalized together.
341 * In such a case, the output buffer will just contain a copy of the text up to the
344 * pNeededToNormalize is an output-only parameter. Its output value is only defined
345 * if normalization was requested (doNormalize) and successful (especially, no
347 * It is useful for operations like a normalizing transliterator, where one would
348 * not want to replace a piece of text if it is not modified.
350 * If doNormalize==TRUE and pNeededToNormalize!=NULL then *pNeeded... is set TRUE
351 * if the normalization was necessary.
353 * If doNormalize==FALSE then *pNeededToNormalize will be set to FALSE.
355 * If the buffer overflows, then *pNeededToNormalize will be undefined;
