Of course I have been supposing that (if possible) the RTL would call a
library function. But it makes no difference: If the algorithm to
"normalize" the multi-character codes (if this is possible at all) needs
a table of several GBytes and CPU time of several Minutes, this is not a
viable option, may it be done in RTL or in library code.

So doing software (that e.g. in a document file finds a Text the user
inputs in an Edit filed) that decently deals with that stuff seems
impossible to do.
