Defines how a Unicode string is transformed in a canonical
form, standardizing such issues as whether a character with an accent is
represented as a base character and combining accent or as a single precomposed
character. Unicode strings should generally be normalized before comparing them.
G_NORMALIZE_DEFAULT
standardize differences that do not affect the
text content, such as the above-mentioned accent representation.
G_NORMALIZE_NFD
another name for G_NORMALIZE_DEFAULT.
G_NORMALIZE_DEFAULT_COMPOSE
like G_NORMALIZE_DEFAULT, but with composed
forms rather than a maximally decomposed form.
G_NORMALIZE_NFC
another name for G_NORMALIZE_DEFAULT_COMPOSE.
G_NORMALIZE_ALL
beyond G_NORMALIZE_DEFAULT also standardize the
"compatibility" characters in Unicode, such as SUPERSCRIPT THREE to the
standard forms (in this case DIGIT THREE). Formatting information may be
lost but for most text operations such characters should be considered the
same.
G_NORMALIZE_NFKD
another name for G_NORMALIZE_ALL.
G_NORMALIZE_ALL_COMPOSE
like G_NORMALIZE_ALL, but with composed
forms rather than a maximally decomposed form.
G_NORMALIZE_NFKC
another name for G_NORMALIZE_ALL_COMPOSE.
