Ah, good point. > So maybe something like > utf-8-hfs.el > hfs-normalize.el > utf-normalize.el As the Unicode normalization is for character sequence, not for UTF (transformaiton format), I think something like these are better: ucs-normalize.el uni-normalize.el (but it's confusing with the other uni-*.el files) Kawabata-san, what do you think? --- Kenichi Handa handa@m17n.org
