[fpc-devel] Function for translation "normalized" Unicode strings into strings with composed characters?

[Denis Kozlov]

The canonic decomposition (NFD) can be performed with 
UnicodeData.NormalizeNFD function in FPC, but I don't think there is an 
implementation of canonical composition (NFC) in FPC. It would be great 
to have one!

On Windows, you can perform both NFD and NFC via NormalizeString API 
function.
