Non sense. The various normal forms aren't needed for printing, but for "working with them". Same for the various encodings like UTF-8 and UTF-16. Think about the other type systems with diacritics like TeX. That is made for printing documents, not for working with them. > At least this i what the outcome suggests: printing works just fine, but > even trying to find out a very short information is identical is not > decently possible. That depends on what you mean with "identical". I guess you mean the topic "collation". It would be nice if someone with some knowledge about that topic could start a wiki page or fpdoc topic to list the common functions for them.
