(I am advised by Eli Zaretskii that this deficiency in the
documentation should be dealt with by submitting a bug report using
"M-x report-emacs-bug RET".)
The EmacsWiki page https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CharacterFoldPlus
gives no indication of the important capability of character folding to
search for text in Unicode Normalisation Form D or Unicode
Normalisation Form C using a search string expressed in the opposite
normalisation.
Yours faithfully,
Richard Wordingham.

The Emacs Wiki isn't run by the Emacs maintainers, I think? And this is
about a package not included in Emacs, but written by Drew Adams (who
also wrote that Wiki page), so I this he's the correct recipient here,
so I'm Cc-ing him and closing this bug report.

Yes, this page is about library character-fold+.el,
not vanilla Emacs (e.g. library character-fold.el).
The first thing in the Commentary of character-fold+.el
says this:
;; NOTE: This library is NOT UP-TO-DATE WRT EMACS 25. The vanilla
;; Emacs library `character-fold.el', which this library
;; extends, was changed in incompatible ways after this library
;; was written. I have not yet had a chance to update this
;; (and am waiting for Emacs 25 to be released to do so).
;; Sorry about that.
(And clearly the parenthetical phrase is also not up to date.)
Dunno if/when I'll get a chance to revisit what this library did. It would be great if vanilla Emacs offered symmetric character folding (as a choice).

This is implemented in bug#35689. But it still takes time to re-read
more than thousand old messages discussing this feature, so that
it will cover all needs expressed in previous discussions.

That's great. You might want to take a look at
the behavior (UI, customization possibilities etc.)
provided in character-fold+.el. Maybe your fix
could incorporate some of that, if helpful.
(Haven't looked at it. Just suggesting you maybe
take a look, if you haven't already.)
