NAME
       unicode - Implementation of Unicode normalization

SYNOPSIS
       package require Tcl  8.3

       package require unicode  1.0

       ::unicode::fromstring string

       ::unicode::tostring uclist

       ::unicode::normalize form uclist

       ::unicode::normalizeS form string

DESCRIPTION
       This is an implementation in Tcl of the Unicode normalization forms.

COMMANDS
       ::unicode::fromstring string
              Converts string to list of integer Unicode character codes which
              is used in unicode for internal string representation.

       ::unicode::tostring uclist
              Converts list of integers uclist back to Tcl string.

       ::unicode::normalize form uclist
              Normalizes Unicode characters list ulist according to form and
              returns the normalized list. Form form takes one of the
              following values: D (canonical decomposition), C (canonical
              decomposition, followed by canonical composition), KD
              (compatibility decomposition), or KC (compatibility
              decomposition, followed by canonical composition).

       ::unicode::normalizeS form string
              A shortcut to ::unicode::tostring [unicode::normalize \$form
              [::unicode::fromstring \$string]].  Normalizes Tcl string and
              returns normalized string.

EXAMPLES
              % ::unicode::fromstring "\u0410\u0411\u0412\u0413"
              1040 1041 1042 1043
              % ::unicode::tostring {49 50 51 52 53}
              12345
              %



              % ::unicode::normalize D {7692 775}
              68 803 775
              % ::unicode::normalizeS KD "\u1d2c"
              A
              %
