# Help detect how Unicode NFC and NFD are handled on the filesystem.
# A simple character that has a NFD form.
#
# NFC: U+00e9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE
# UTF8(NFC): \xc3 \xa9
#
# NFD: U+0065 LATIN SMALL LETTER E
# U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT
# UTF8(NFD): \x65 + \xcc \x81
#

# Is the OS or the filesystem "Unicode composition sensitive"?
#
# That is, does the OS or the filesystem allow files to exist with
# both the NFC and NFD spellings? Or, does the OS/FS lie to us and
# tell us that the NFC and NFD forms are equivalent.
#
# This is or may be independent of what type of filesystem we have,
# since it might be handled by the OS at a layer above the FS.
# Testing shows on MacOS using APFS, HFS+, and FAT32 reports a
# collision, for example.
#
# This does not tell us how the Unicode pathname will be spelled
# on disk, but rather only that the two spelling "collide". We
# will examine the actual on disk spelling in a later prereq.

# and on APFS, NFC paths are preserved. As we have established

# The following _DOUBLE_ forms are more for my curiosity,
# but there may be quirks lurking when there are multiple
# combining characters in non-canonical order.
# Unicode also allows multiple combining characters
# that can be decomposed in pieces.
#
# NFC: U+1f67 GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA WITH DASIA AND PERISPOMENI
# UTF8(NFC): \xe1 \xbd \xa7
#
# NFD1: U+1f61 GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA WITH DASIA
# U+0342 COMBINING GREEK PERISPOMENI
# UTF8(NFD1): \xe1 \xbd \xa1 + \xcd \x82
#
# But U+1f61 decomposes into
# NFD2: U+03c9 GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA
# U+0314 COMBINING REVERSED COMMA ABOVE
# UTF8(NFD2): \xcf \x89 + \xcc \x94
#
# Yielding: \xcf \x89 + \xcc \x94 + \xcd \x82
#
# Note that I've used the canonical ordering of the
# combining characters. It is also possible to
# swap them. My testing shows that that non-standard
# ordering also causes a collision in mkdir. However,
# the resulting names don't draw correctly on the
# terminal (implying that the on-disk format also has
# them out of order).

# The following is for debugging. I found it useful when

# Unicode and how composition/decomposition is handled.
# For example, when trying to understand how (macOS, APFS)
# and (macOS, HFS) and (macOS, FAT32) compare.
#
# It is rather noisy, so it is disabled by default.
