Mostly decomposed :) (i.e. it doesn't use NFD, but it uses something pretty close to NFD) > http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1150.html#HFSPlusNames > > I don't think URL encode ever comes into play in HFS+ or in the POSIX > APIs that takes UTF-8 (decomposed) paths The POSIX APIs take UTF-8, regardless of the composition/decomposition. That is, both of these lines open the same file: fopen("\xC3\xA9","w"); //é, composed fopen("e\xCC\x81","w"); //é, decomposed >... not sure what Michael is > talking about.
