GNormalizeMode

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
