Description Noah Levitt 2003-09-28 05:58:28 UTC 
Need a way to do unicode normalization in one normalization unit at a time.
Pango wants this so that it can render canonically equivalent strings
identically.
Comment 1 Noah Levitt 2003-09-28 06:03:53 UTC 
One of our assumptions was wrong-- a normalization unit isn't
necessarily the same as a combining character sequence. For instance,
U+09CB = U+09C7 + U+09BE, but U+09C7 and U+09BE both have combining
class zero. I'm not sure there's a simpler way to figure out the
atomic normalization units than to see what happens when you do the
whole normalization.

Adding the PATCH keyword and marking priority as high.
Comment 4 Noah Levitt 2004-01-30 22:05:35 UTC 
The patch is informative, not meant to be used.

We have this now.
