Detailed Description

C API: New API for Unicode Normalization.

Unicode normalization functionality for standard Unicode normalization or for using custom mapping tables. All instances of UNormalizer2 are unmodifiable/immutable. Instances returned by unorm2_getInstance() are singletons that must not be deleted by the caller. For more details see the Normalizer2 C++ class.

Stable:
ICU 4.4
Enumerator:
UNORM2_COMPOSE 

Decomposition followed by composition.

Same as standard NFC when using an "nfc" instance. Same as standard NFKC when using an "nfkc" instance. For details about standard Unicode normalization forms see http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/

Stable:
ICU 4.4
UNORM2_DECOMPOSE 

Map, and reorder canonically.

Same as standard NFD when using an "nfc" instance. Same as standard NFKD when using an "nfkc" instance. For details about standard Unicode normalization forms see http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/

Stable:
ICU 4.4
UNORM2_FCD 

"Fast C or D" form.

If a string is in this form, then further decomposition without reordering would yield the same form as DECOMPOSE. Text in "Fast C or D" form can be processed efficiently with data tables that are "canonically closed", that is, that provide equivalent data for equivalent text, without having to be fully normalized. Not a standard Unicode normalization form. Not a unique form: Different FCD strings can be canonically equivalent. For details see http://www.unicode.org/notes/tn5/#FCD

Stable:
ICU 4.4
UNORM2_COMPOSE_CONTIGUOUS 

Compose only contiguously.

Also known as "FCC" or "Fast C Contiguous". The result will often but not always be in NFC. The result will conform to FCD which is useful for processing. Not a standard Unicode normalization form. For details see http://www.unicode.org/notes/tn5/#FCC

Function Documentation

int32_t unorm2_append ( const UNormalizer2 norm2,
UChar first,
int32_t  firstLength,
int32_t  firstCapacity,
const UChar second,
int32_t  secondLength,
UErrorCode pErrorCode 
)

Appends the second string to the first string (merging them at the boundary) and returns the length of the first string.

The result is normalized if both the strings were normalized. The first and second strings must be different buffers.

Parameters:
norm2UNormalizer2 instance
firststring, should be normalized
firstLengthlength of the first string, or -1 if NUL-terminated
firstCapacitynumber of UChars that can be written to first
secondstring, should be normalized
secondLengthlength of the source string, or -1 if NUL-terminated
pErrorCodeStandard ICU error code. Its input value must pass the U_SUCCESS() test, or else the function returns immediately. Check for U_FAILURE() on output or use with function chaining. (See User Guide for details.)
Returns:
first
Stable:
ICU 4.4
void unorm2_close ( UNormalizer2 norm2)

Closes a UNormalizer2 instance from unorm2_openFiltered().

Do not close instances from unorm2_getInstance()!

Parameters:
norm2UNormalizer2 instance to be closed
Stable:
ICU 4.4
int32_t unorm2_getDecomposition ( const UNormalizer2 norm2,
UChar32  c,
UChar decomposition,
int32_t  capacity,
UErrorCode pErrorCode 
)

Gets the decomposition mapping of c.

Equivalent to unorm2_normalize(string(c)) on a UNORM2_DECOMPOSE UNormalizer2 instance, but much faster. This function is independent of the mode of the UNormalizer2.

Parameters:
norm2UNormalizer2 instance
ccode point
decompositionString buffer which will be set to c's decomposition mapping, if there is one.
capacitynumber of UChars that can be written to decomposition
pErrorCodeStandard ICU error code. Its input value must pass the U_SUCCESS() test, or else the function returns immediately. Check for U_FAILURE() on output or use with function chaining. (See User Guide for details.)
Returns:
the non-negative length of c's decomposition, if there is one; otherwise a negative value
Draft:
This API may be changed in the future versions and was introduced in ICU 4.6
const UNormalizer2* unorm2_getInstance ( const char *  packageName,
const char *  name,
UNormalization2Mode  mode,
UErrorCode pErrorCode 
)

Returns a UNormalizer2 instance which uses the specified data file (packageName/name similar to ucnv_openPackage() and ures_open()/ResourceBundle) and which composes or decomposes text according to the specified mode.

Returns an unmodifiable singleton instance. Do not delete it.

Use packageName=NULL for data files that are part of ICU's own data. Use name="nfc" and UNORM2_COMPOSE/UNORM2_DECOMPOSE for Unicode standard NFC/NFD. Use name="nfkc" and UNORM2_COMPOSE/UNORM2_DECOMPOSE for Unicode standard NFKC/NFKD. Use name="nfkc_cf" and UNORM2_COMPOSE for Unicode standard NFKC_CF=NFKC_Casefold.

Parameters:
packageNameNULL for ICU built-in data, otherwise application data package name
name"nfc" or "nfkc" or "nfkc_cf" or name of custom data file
modenormalization mode (compose or decompose etc.)
pErrorCodeStandard ICU error code. Its input value must pass the U_SUCCESS() test, or else the function returns immediately. Check for U_FAILURE() on output or use with function chaining. (See User Guide for details.)
Returns:
the requested UNormalizer2, if successful
Stable:

UBool unorm2_isNormalized ( const UNormalizer2 norm2,
const UChar s,
int32_t  length,
UErrorCode pErrorCode 
)

Tests if the string is normalized.

Internally, in cases where the quickCheck() method would return "maybe" (which is only possible for the two COMPOSE modes) this method resolves to "yes" or "no" to provide a definitive result, at the cost of doing more work in those cases.

Parameters:
norm2UNormalizer2 instance
sinput string
lengthlength of the string, or -1 if NUL-terminated
pErrorCodeStandard ICU error code. Its input value must pass the U_SUCCESS() test, or else the function returns immediately. Check for U_FAILURE() on output or use with function chaining. (See User Guide for details.)
Returns:
TRUE if s is normalized
Stable:
ICU 4.4
int32_t unorm2_normalize ( const UNormalizer2 norm2,
const UChar src,
int32_t  length,
UChar dest,
int32_t  capacity,
UErrorCode pErrorCode 
)

Writes the normalized form of the source string to the destination string (replacing its contents) and returns the length of the destination string.

The source and destination strings must be different buffers.

Parameters:
norm2UNormalizer2 instance
srcsource string
lengthlength of the source string, or -1 if NUL-terminated
destdestination string; its contents is replaced with normalized src
capacitynumber of UChars that can be written to dest
pErrorCodeStandard ICU error code. Its input value must pass the U_SUCCESS() test, or else the function returns immediately. Check for U_FAILURE() on output or use with function chaining. (See User Guide for details.)
Returns:
dest
Stable:
ICU 4.4
int32_t unorm2_normalizeSecondAndAppend ( const UNormalizer2 norm2,
UChar first,
int32_t  firstLength,
int32_t  firstCapacity,
const UChar second,
int32_t  secondLength,
UErrorCode pErrorCode 
)

Appends the normalized form of the second string to the first string (merging them at the boundary) and returns the length of the first string.

The result is normalized if the first string was normalized. The first and second strings must be different buffers.

Parameters:
norm2UNormalizer2 instance
firststring, should be normalized
firstLengthlength of the first string, or -1 if NUL-terminated
firstCapacitynumber of UChars that can be written to first
secondstring, will be normalized
secondLengthlength of the source string, or -1 if NUL-terminated
pErrorCodeStandard ICU error code. Its input value must pass the U_SUCCESS() test, or else the function returns immediately. Check for U_FAILURE() on output or use with function chaining. (See User Guide for details.)
Returns:
first
Stable:
ICU 4.4
UNormalizer2* unorm2_openFiltered ( const UNormalizer2 norm2,
const USet filterSet,
UErrorCode pErrorCode 
)

Constructs a filtered normalizer wrapping any UNormalizer2 instance and a filter set.

Both are aliased and must not be modified or deleted while this object is used. The filter set should be frozen; otherwise the performance will suffer greatly.

Parameters:
norm2wrapped UNormalizer2 instance
filterSetUSet which determines the characters to be normalized
pErrorCodeStandard ICU error code. Its input value must pass the U_SUCCESS() test, or else the function returns immediately. Check for U_FAILURE() on output or use with function chaining. (See User Guide for details.)
Returns:
the requested UNormalizer2, if successful
Stable:
ICU 4.4
UNormalizationCheckResult unorm2_quickCheck ( const UNormalizer2 norm2,
const UChar s,
int32_t  length,
UErrorCode pErrorCode 
)

Tests if the string is normalized.

For the two COMPOSE modes, the result could be "maybe" in cases that would take a little more work to resolve definitively. Use spanQuickCheckYes() and normalizeSecondAndAppend() for a faster combination of quick check + normalization, to avoid re-checking the "yes" prefix.

Parameters:
norm2UNormalizer2 instance
sinput string
lengthlength of the string, or -1 if NUL-terminated
pErrorCodeStandard ICU error code. Its input value must pass the U_SUCCESS() test, or else the function returns immediately. Check for U_FAILURE() on output or use with function chaining. (See User Guide for details.)
Returns:
UNormalizationCheckResult
Stable:
ICU 4.4
int32_t unorm2_spanQuickCheckYes ( const UNormalizer2 norm2,
const UChar s,
int32_t  length,
UErrorCode pErrorCode 
)

Returns the end of the normalized substring of the input string.

In other words, with end=spanQuickCheckYes(s, ec); the substring UnicodeString(s, 0, end) will pass the quick check with a "yes" result.

The returned end index is usually one or more characters before the "no" or "maybe" character: The end index is at a normalization boundary. (See the class documentation for more about normalization boundaries.)

When the goal is a normalized string and most input strings are expected to be normalized already, then call this method, and if it returns a prefix shorter than the input string, copy that prefix and use normalizeSecondAndAppend() for the remainder.

Parameters:
norm2UNormalizer2 instance
sinput string
lengthlength of the string, or -1 if NUL-terminated
pErrorCodeStandard ICU error code. Its input value must pass the U_SUCCESS() test, or else the function returns immediately. Check for U_FAILURE() on output or use with function chaining. (See User Guide for details.)
Returns:
"yes" span end index
