Hi, Tomoyuki,
is it a bug in Unicode::Normalize or in my code: I expected that for
combining a circumflex with a small letter i, I'd have to use the
dotless i, but to my surprise, NFC refuses to combine with the dotless
i. Here's a demo progam:
% perl -le '
use Unicode::Normalize;
use Encode;
use charnames ":full";
for my $e (qw(ascii)){
print Encode::encode($e,
NFKC("combining with i: i\N{COMBINING CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT}
combining with dotless i: \N{LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I}\N{COMBINING
CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT}"),
Encode::FB_PERLQQ);
}
'
combining with i: \x{00ee}
combining with dotless i: \x{0131}\x{0302}
What do you think?
Makes sense to me. U+00EE is "LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH CIRCUMFLEX"
not "LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I WITH CIRCUMFLEX"
