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 follow-
              ing values: D (canonical decomposition), C (canonical decomposi-
              tion,  followed  by  canonical  composition),  KD (compatibility
              decomposition), 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 "\u0410\u0411\u0412\u0413"
       1040 1041 1042 1043
       % ::unicode::tostring {49 50 51 52 53}
       12345
       %


       % ::unicode::normalize D {7692 775}
