public final class Normalizer extends Object
This class provides the methodnormalize
which transforms Unicode text into an equivalent composed or decomposed form, allowing for easier sorting and searching of text. Thenormalize
method supports the standard normalization forms described in Unicode Standard Annex #15 — Unicode Normalization Forms.Characters with accents or other adornments can be encoded in several different ways in Unicode. For example, take the character A-acute. In Unicode, this can be encoded as a single character (the "composed" form):
U+00C1 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
or as two separate characters (the "decomposed" form):U+0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT
To a user of your program, however, both of these sequences should be treated as the same "user-level" character "A with acute accent". When you are searching or comparing text, you must ensure that these two sequences are treated as equivalent. In addition, you must handle characters with more than one accent. Sometimes the order of a character's combining accents is significant, while in other cases accent sequences in different orders are really equivalent.Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters:
U+0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F U+0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F U+0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I
or as the single characterU+FB03 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI
The ffi ligature is not a distinct semantic character, and strictly speaking it shouldn't be in Unicode at all, but it was included for compatibility with existing character sets that already provided it. The Unicode standard identifies such characters by giving them "compatibility" decompositions into the corresponding semantic characters. When sorting and searching, you will often want to use these mappings.The
normalize
method helps solve these problems by transforming text into the canonical composed and decomposed forms as shown in the first example above. In addition, you can have it perform compatibility decompositions so that you can treat compatibility characters the same as their equivalents. Finally, thenormalize
method rearranges accents into the proper canonical order, so that you do not have to worry about accent rearrangement on your own.The W3C generally recommends to exchange texts in NFC. Note also that most legacy character encodings use only precomposed forms and often do not encode any combining marks by themselves. For conversion to such character encodings the Unicode text needs to be normalized to NFC. For more usage examples, see the Unicode Standard Annex.
