NAME
     stringpreputf8nfkcnormalize - normalize Unicode string

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     char  *  stringpreputf8nfkcnormalize(const  char  *  str,
     ssizet len);

ARGUMENTS
     const char * str
                 a UTF-8 encoded string.

     ssizet len length of str, in bytes, or -1 if  str  is  nul-
                 terminated.

DESCRIPTION
     Converts a string into canonical  form,  standardizing  such
     issues  as whether a character with an accent is represented
     as a base character and combining  accent  or  as  a  single
     precomposed character.

     The normalization mode is NFKC (AL COMPOSE).  It  standard-
     izes  differences  that do not affect the text content, such
     as the above-mentioned accent representation.  It  standard-
     izes  the  "compatibility"  characters  in  Unicode, such as
     SUPERSCRIPT THRE to the standard forms (in this case  DIGIT
     THRE). Formatting information may be lost but for most text
     operations such characters should be considered the same. It
     returns a result with composed forms rather than a maximally
     decomposed form.

RETURN VALUE
     a newly allocated string, that is the NFKC  normalized  form
     of str.
