     42  * This class provides the method <code>normalize</code> which transforms Unicode
     43  * text into an equivalent composed or decomposed form, allowing for easier
     44  * sorting and searching of text.
     45  * The <code>normalize</code> method supports the standard normalization forms
     46  * described in
     47  * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/tr15-23.html">
     48  * Unicode Standard Annex #15 &mdash; Unicode Normalization Forms</a>.
     49  * <p>
     50  * Characters with accents or other adornments can be encoded in
     51  * several different ways in Unicode.  For example, take the character A-acute.
     52  * In Unicode, this can be encoded as a single character (the "composed" form):
     53  *
     54  * <pre>
     55  *      U+00C1    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE</pre>
     56  *
     57  * or as two separate characters (the "decomposed" form):
     58  *
     59  * <pre>
     60  *      U+0041    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
     61  *      U+0301    COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT</pre>
     62  *
     63  * To a user of your program, however, both of these sequences should be
     64  * treated as the same "user-level" character "A with acute accent".  When you
     65  * are searching or comparing text, you must ensure that these two sequences are
     66  * treated as equivalent.  In addition, you must handle characters with more than
     67  * one accent. Sometimes the order of a character's combining accents is
     68  * significant, while in other cases accent sequences in different orders are
     69  * really equivalent.
     70  * <p>
     71  * Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters:
     72  *
     73  * <pre>
     74  *      U+0066    LATIN SMALL LETTER F
     75  *      U+0066    LATIN SMALL LETTER F
     76  *      U+0069    LATIN SMALL LETTER I</pre>
     77  *
     78  * or as the single character
     79  *
     80  * <pre>
     81  *      U+FB03    LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI</pre>
     82  *
     83  * The ffi ligature is not a distinct semantic character, and strictly speaking
     84  * it shouldn't be in Unicode at all, but it was included for compatibility
     85  * with existing character sets that already provided it.  The Unicode standard
     86  * identifies such characters by giving them "compatibility" decompositions
     87  * into the corresponding semantic characters.  When sorting and searching, you
     88  * will often want to use these mappings.
     89  * <p>
     90  * The <code>normalize</code> method helps solve these problems by transforming
     91  * text into the canonical composed and decomposed forms as shown in the first
     92  * example above. In addition, you can have it perform compatibility
     93  * decompositions so that you can treat compatibility characters the same as
     94  * their equivalents.
     95  * Finally, the <code>normalize</code> method rearranges accents into the
     96  * proper canonical order, so that you do not have to worry about accent
     97  * rearrangement on your own.
     98  * <p>
     99  * The W3C generally recommends to exchange texts in NFC.
    100  * Note also that most legacy character encodings use only precomposed forms and
    101  * often do not encode any combining marks by themselves. For conversion to such
    102  * character encodings the Unicode text needs to be normalized to NFC.
    103  * For more usage examples, see the Unicode Standard Annex.
    104  *
