There are definitions of "canonical forms" (both "composed" and  
"decomposed") of utf strings that do enable this sort of stuff. E.g.,  
Apple uses this for their HFS+ file system so you cannot have to files  
that have the name "ä" in the same directory (since there are multiple  
ways in unicode to represent this character).
