GREEK VARIA (U+1FEF) goes to GRAVE ACCENT (U+0060).

GREEK ANO TELEIA (U+0387) goes to MIDDLE DOT (U+00B7).

GREEK QUESTION MARK (U+037E) goes to SEMICOLON (U+003B).

GREEK NUMERAL SIGN (U+0374) goes to MODIFIER LETTER PRIME (U+02B9).

Here are some examples where an NFC normalization changes the character. An NFC normalization always decomposes first so that code is actually just the same as normalize("NFC", s). In other words normalize("NFC", normalize("NFD", s)) won’t necessarily give you back s. If you try displaying U+03B1 U+0342 U+0313, you’ll probably get the smooth breathing above the circumflex so in this case it will visually look wrong.Ĭanonical Composition won’t necessarily reverse Canonical Decomposition. So even with normalization, it is important to get the relative ordering of combining characters correct. But they won’t under Normalization Form C either. Clearly they won’t equate under direct string comparison nor under Normalization Form D. with the smooth breathing (psili) and circumflex (perispomeni) combining characters swapped. You may be wondering what would happen if we had a Unicode string consisting of U+03B1 U+0342 U+0313, i.e. > from unicodedata import decomposition > decomposition ( " \u1F06 " ) '1F00 0342' > name ( " \u1F00 " ) 'GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI' > decomposition ( " \u1F00 " ) '03B1 0313' The unicodedata library in Python will tell you the decomposition of any precomposed character: U+1F00 is referred to as precomposed and its decomposition is U+03B1 U+0313. Precomposed verses Decomposed CharactersĪn alpha with smooth breathing (or psili) is available at U+1F00 but it’s also possible with U+03B1 and U+0313.

In Greek we use U+0342, the COMBINING GREEK PERISPOMENI.

Note that there is a COMBINING CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT at U+0302 but that’s, not what we think of as a circumflex. The relevant Combining Diacritical Marks in the 0300–036F range are: code (0370–03FF vs 1F00–1FFF) Combining Characters Reading and writing of files, unless marked as binary, will do the decode/encode for you (and assume a UTF-8 encoding by default). Source files in Python 3 are assumed to be UTF-8.
