"Normalization Form KC" or something like that, see down from
<http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#ucsutf>. Alternatively
perhaps NFKD could be used, but for as simple as possible string
processing, again, IMHO combining characters should have been coded
in a standard way to the charater numbers instead of being separate
"semi-characters". I don't care if it doesn't fit in 16 bits, UTF-8
is more sensible than UCS* anyway.
