I don't think it is O/S specific. There are different normalization schemes available to all O/Ses. The four most-standard ones are NFC, NFD, NFKC and NFKD. Here C standards for compmosition, D stands for Decomposition, and K stands for Kompatibility. Different applications have different needs. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
