# uax-15
Updated for Unicode 15

This package provides a common lisp unicode normalization function using nfc, nfd, nfkc and nfkd as per Unicode Standard Annex #15 found at [http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/tr15-22.html](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/tr15-22.html).

This is a fork of a subset of work done by Takeru Ohta in 2010. Future work is intended to provide support for https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8264 and https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7564.

# Implementation Notes
This has been successfully tested on sbcl, ccl, ecl, clisp, abcl, allegro and cmucl against the unicode test file found at [http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/NormalizationTest.txt](http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/NormalizationTest.txt)

# Usage
It has one major exported function:

* (normalize (str unicode-normalization-method))

The currently supported normalization methods are :nfc :nfkc :nfd :nfkd

Normalization example with reference to relevant xkcd [https://www.xkcd.com/936/](https://www.xkcd.com/936/)

```common-lisp
(normalize "正しい馬バッテリーステープル" :nfkc)
"正しい馬バッテリーステープル"

(normalize "الحصان الصحيح البطارية التيلة" :nfkc)
"الحصان الصحيح البطارية التيلة"

(normalize "اstáplacha ceart ceallraí capall" :nfkc)
"اstáplacha ceart ceallraí capall"
```
