Most formats (including XML) require data to be normalized to NFC.
- chrismorgan 5y agoCan you point me to a single format that actually requires NFC? Most things either make no comment or just express preferences, though I’m confident there will be some somewhere. XML does not require normalisation: per <https://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/#sec-normalization-checking https://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/#sec-normalization-checking>, XML data SHOULD be fully normalised, but MUST NOT be transformed by processors; in other words, it’s a dead letter “SHOULD”, and no one actually cares, just like almost everything else.
