I think canonicalization gets you that if that's what you want. I
definitely think that Perl should be able to do all of NFD, NFC, NFKD, and
NFKC canonicalization.
NFC will collapse most different characters for the same thing to a single
character and get rid of most of the compatibility characters for you.
NFKC will go further and do stuff like getting rid of superscripts and the
like.
