NAME
       stringprep_utf8_nfkc_normalize

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stringprep.h>

       char * stringprep_utf8_nfkc_normalize(const char * str, ssize_t len);

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

       ssize_t 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 (ALL COMPOSE).  It standardizes differ-
       ences that do not affect the text content, such as the above-mentioned
       accent representation. It standardizes the "compatibility"  characters
       in  Unicode,  such as SUPERSCRIPT THREE to the standard forms (in this
       case DIGIT THREE). 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  decom-
       posed form.

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