NAME
unicode - Implementation of Unicode normalization
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.3
package require unicode 1.0
::unicode::fromstring string
::unicode::tostring uclist
::unicode::normalize form uclist
::unicode::normalizeS form string
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This is an implementation in Tcl of the Unicode normalization forms.
COMMANDS
::unicode::fromstring string
Converts string to list of integer Unicode character codes which is used in unicode for internal string representation.
::unicode::tostring uclist
Converts list of integers uclist back to Tcl string.
::unicode::normalize form uclist
Normalizes Unicode characters list ulist according to form and returns the normalized list. Form form takes one of the following
values: D (canonical decomposition), C (canonical decomposition, followed by canonical composition), KD (compatibility decomposi-
tion), or KC (compatibility decomposition, followed by canonical composition).
::unicode::normalizeS form string
A shortcut to ::unicode::tostring [unicode::normalize $form [::unicode::fromstring $string]]. Normalizes Tcl string and returns
normalized string.
EXAMPLES
% ::unicode::fromstring "u0410u0411u0412u0413"
1040 1041 1042 1043
% ::unicode::tostring {49 50 51 52 53}
12345

% ::unicode::normalize D {7692 775}
68 803 775
% ::unicode::normalizeS KD "u1d2c"
