This is where my knowledge about Unicode gets fuzzy. Isn't it the case that

You can't normalize everything down to a single code point, but you
can normalize the other way by breaking out everything that can be
broken out.
print(ascii(unicodedata.normalize("NFKC", "ä")))
'\xe4'
print(ascii(unicodedata.normalize("NFKD", "ä")))
'a\u0308'
Well, Stephen was right then! There's room for a library to handle this
situation. Or is there one already?
