   TIL about unicode normalizations NFKC and NFKD, which are like NFC and NFD except they also explode some typographical code points like the ffi ligature. That makes sense. But also modifications like superscript 5 becomes normal 5. That destroys information. I guess if you want to discover sneakiness and use it for comparison only, it's good.
