[basex-talk] normalize-unicode function

28 Jun 2012

      Hi,

I tried some Japanese letters in fn:normalize-unicode.

FULLWIDTH DIGIT, FULLWIDTH LATIN CAPITAL LETTER:
  fn:normalize-unicode("１２３４５６７８９０ａｂｃｄｅｆｇ", "NFKC")
  returns 1234567890abcdefg

FULLWIDTH EXCLAMATION MARK:
  fn:normalize-unicode("！", "NFKC")
  returns !

FULLWIDTH LESS-THAN SIGN, ?FULLWIDTH GREATER-THAN SIGN:
  fn:normalize-unicode("＜＞", "NFKC")
  returns <>

FULLWIDTH AMPERSAND;
  fn:normalize-unicode("＆", "NFKC")
  returns?&

These are normal. but,

FULLWIDTH QUOTATION MARK, FULLWIDTH APOSTROPHE:
  fn:normalize-unicode("”’", "NFKC")
  returns ”’

In this case, I think that "' should be returned.

Best regards,
