Fast Unicode 9.0 normalization in Haskell; documentation

Unicode characters with adornments (e.g. Á) can be represented in two different forms, as a single composed character (U+00C1 = Á) or as multiple decomposed characters (U+0041(A) U+0301( ́ ) = Á). They are differently encoded byte sequences but for humans they have exactly the same visual appearance.

A regular byte comparison may tell that two strings are different even though they might be equivalent. Both strings need to be converted in a normalized form using the Unicode Character Database before they can be compared for equivalence.

This library implements fast Unicode 9.0 normalization in Haskell (NFC, NFKC, NFD, NFKD).

This package provides the documentation for a library for the Haskell programming language. See http://www.haskell.org/ for more information on Haskell.
