Introduction: This normalization is used to convert Unicode string to pure ASCII. This Norm is identical to Unicode synonym conversion followed by Unicode Norm. In other words:
First, it converts Unicode characters to its defined synonym base (-f:q4)
Then, it used core Norm to normalize the converted Unicode string (-f:q7)
Last, it converts non-ASCII Unicode characters to
![Unicode Name]! format (-f:q3)
The main advantages of using this Norm are:
Pure ASCII results
More normalization in terms of Unicode synonyms
Preserve Unicode information
Unicode characters can be retrieved from
![Unicode Name]!
Algorithm:
Convert Unicode characters to Unicode synonym base
Perform core norm
Convert no-ASCII characters from the result of above to Unicode name as
![Unicode name]!
