/**
 * This class provides the method <code>normalize</code> which transforms Unicode
 * text into an equivalent composed or decomposed form, allowing for easier
 * sorting and searching of text.
 * The <code>normalize</code> method supports the standard normalization forms
 * described in
 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/tr15-23.html">
 * Unicode Standard Annex #15 &mdash; Unicode Normalization Forms</a>.
 * <p>
 * Characters with accents or other adornments can be encoded in
 * several different ways in Unicode.  For example, take the character A-acute.
 * In Unicode, this can be encoded as a single character (the "composed" form):
 *
 * <pre>
 *      U+00C1    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE</pre>
 *
 * or as two separate characters (the "decomposed" form):
 *
 * <pre>
 *      U+0041    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
 *      U+0301    COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT</pre>
 *
 * To a user of your program, however, both of these sequences should be
 * treated as the same "user-level" character "A with acute accent".  When you
 * are searching or comparing text, you must ensure that these two sequences are
 * treated as equivalent.  In addition, you must handle characters with more than
 * one accent. Sometimes the order of a character's combining accents is
 * significant, while in other cases accent sequences in different orders are
 * really equivalent.
 * <p>
 * Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters:
 *
 * <pre>
 *      U+0066    LATIN SMALL LETTER F
 *      U+0066    LATIN SMALL LETTER F
 *      U+0069    LATIN SMALL LETTER I</pre>
 *
 * or as the single character
 *
 * <pre>
 *      U+FB03    LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI</pre>
 *
 * The ffi ligature is not a distinct semantic character, and strictly speaking
 * it shouldn't be in Unicode at all, but it was included for compatibility
 * with existing character sets that already provided it.  The Unicode standard
 * identifies such characters by giving them "compatibility" decompositions
 * into the corresponding semantic characters.  When sorting and searching, you
 * will often want to use these mappings.
 * <p>
 * The <code>normalize</code> method helps solve these problems by transforming
 * text into the canonical composed and decomposed forms as shown in the first
 * example above. In addition, you can have it perform compatibility
 * decompositions so that you can treat compatibility characters the same as
 * their equivalents.
 * Finally, the <code>normalize</code> method rearranges accents into the
 * proper canonical order, so that you do not have to worry about accent
 * rearrangement on your own.
 * <p>
 * The W3C generally recommends to exchange texts in NFC.
 * Note also that most legacy character encodings use only precomposed forms and
 * often do not encode any combining marks by themselves. For conversion to such
 * character encodings the Unicode text needs to be normalized to NFC.
 * For more usage examples, see the Unicode Standard Annex.
