About "identically coded": That is "decently possible" - simple string/byte comparison. About "identically looking": I guess you mean composed vs decomposed form. That is converting normal forms. There are functions to normalize, but the information is scattered and it would be nice if someone would write a page. About "ligatures": I guess you mean "collation". Same problem. Needs better documentation. Basically you are asking for various compare and normalization functions. These functions exist.
