This is for those who want unicode normalization but do not want a dependency on the heavyweight icu libraries. It has the same API as the text-icu package. It is based on the utf8proc C implementation. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/unicode-transforms https://github.com/harendra-kumar/unicode-transforms A pure Haskell implementation is a work in progress, it works for the NFD normalization form as of now. I could make it perform better than the current utf8proc C implementation and it even beats the ICU implementation in one of the benchmarks. I intend to finish it when I find time to work on it again. Contributions are welcome! -harendra
