Yes, ICU will give you either uniformally decomposed (or precomposed,
according to NFC). There is a low-level interface, or you can also use a
transliterator.

The CollationKey gives you back a sort key. For more information on that
(and the above) see the user guide.

Hi.  I wonder if there is any way to use the ICU to pass in a Unicode
string
that has potentially both precomposed and decomposed characters and get
back
a string with all precomposed characters in their decomposed state.  I.e.
the new string should have no precomposed characters.  I realize the
Collator class does this internally but can I somehow leverage this to get
the new normalized string back?

Also, I noticed the class CollationKey but did not understand what it's use
is.  Could someone who knows explain this to me.

Thanks,
Oodi
