# khmer-normalizer

This module normalizes Khmer text according to the proposed normal encoding structure at https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2022/22290-khmer-encoding.pdf.

It does not attempt to identify faulty text, merely to ensure that two strings that would have rendered the same are output as the same string.

A live online version is available at https://convert.ភាសាខ្មែរ.com/ (see https://ភាសាខ្មែរ.com for related tools).

## Example

ខែ្មរ is corrected to ខ្មែរ:

* Input: ខ `U+1781` ែ `U+17C2` ្ `U+17D2` ម `U+1798` រ `U+179A`

* Output: ខ `U+1781` ្ `U+17D2` ម `U+1798` ែ `U+17C2` រ `U+179A`
