/**
* The C API for Collator performs locale-sensitive
* <code>String</code> comparison. You use this class to build
* searching and sorting routines for natural language text.
*
*
* <p>
* Like other locale-sensitive classes, you can use the function
* <code>ucol_open()</code>, to obtain the appropriate pointer to
* <code>UCollator</code> object for a given locale. If you need
* to understand the details of a particular collation strategy or
* if you need to modify that strategy.
*
* <p>
* The following example shows how to compare two strings using
* the <code>UCollator</code> for the default locale.
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* // Compare two strings in the default locale
* UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* UCollator* myCollator = ucol_open(NULL, &success);
* UChar source[4], target[4];
* u_uastrcpy(source, "abc");
* u_uastrcpy(target, "ABC");
* if( u_strcoll(myCollator, source, u_strlen(source), target, u_strlen(target)) == UCOL_LESS) {
* printf("abc is less than ABC\n");
* }else{
* printf("abc is greater than or equal to ABC\n");
* }
* </pre>
* </blockquote>
*
* <p>
* You can set a <code>Collator</code>'s <em>strength</em> property
* to determine the level of difference considered significant in
* comparisons. Four strengths are provided: <code>UCOL_PRIMARY</code>,
* <code>UCOL_SECONDARY</code>, <code>UCOL_TERTIARY</code>, and
* <code>UCOL_IDENTICAL</code>. The exact assignment of strengths to
* language features is locale dependant. For example, in Czech,
* "e" and "f" are considered primary differences, while "e" and "\u00EA"
* are secondary differences, "e" and "E" are tertiary differences and
* "e" and "e" are identical.
* The following shows how both case and accents could be ignored for
* US English.
* <blockquote>
* <pre>
* //Get the Collator for US English and set its strength to UCOL_PRIMARY
* UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* UCollator* usCollator = ucol_open("en_US", &success);
* ucol_setStrength(usCollator, UCOL_PRIMARY);
* UChar source[4], target[4];
* u_uastrcpy(source, "abc");
* u_uastrcpy(target, "ABC");
* if( u_strcoll(myCollator, source, u_strlen(source), target, u_strlen(target)) == UCOL_EQUAL) {
* printf("'abc' and 'ABC' strings are equivalent with strength UCOL_PRIMARY\n");
* }
* </pre>
* </blockquote>
* <p>
* For comparing <code>String</code>s exactly once, the <code>u_strcoll</code>
* method provides the best performance. When sorting a list of
* <code>String</code>s however, it is generally necessary to compare each
* <code>String</code> multiple times. In this case, <code>sortKey</code>s
* provide better performance. The <code>ucol_getsortKey</code> method converts
* a <code>String</code> to a series of bits that can be compared bitwise
* against other <code>sortKey</code>s using <code>memcmp()</code>
* <p>
* <strong>Note:</strong> <code>UCollator</code>s with different Locale,
* Collation Strength and Decomposition Mode settings will return different
* sort orders for the same set of strings. Locales have specific
* collation rules, and the way in which secondary and tertiary differences
* are taken into account, for example, will result in a different sorting order
* for same strings.
* <p>

* @see UNormalizationMode

/**
* <tt>u_normalize</tt> transforms Unicode text into an equivalent composed or
* decomposed form, allowing for easier sorting and searching of text.
* <tt>u_normalize</tt> supports the standard normalization forms described in
* <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/" target="unicode">
* Unicode Technical Report #15</a>.
* <p>
* Characters with accents or other adornments can be encoded in
* several different ways in Unicode. For example, take the character "Á"
* (A-acute). In Unicode, this can be encoded as a single character (the
* "composed" form):
* <pre>
* 00C1 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE</pre>
* or as two separate characters (the "decomposed" form):
* <pre>
* 0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
* 0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT</pre>
* <p>
* To a user of your program, however, both of these sequences should be
* treated as the same "user-level" character "Á". When you are searching or
* comparing text, you must ensure that these two sequences are treated
* equivalently. In addition, you must handle characters with more than one
* accent. Sometimes the order of a character's combining accents is
* significant, while in other cases accent sequences in different orders are
* really equivalent.
* <p>
* Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters:
* <pre>
* 0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F
* 0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F
* 0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I</pre>
* or as the single character
* <pre>
* FB03 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FFI</pre>
* <p>
* The ffi ligature is not a distinct semantic character, and strictly speaking
* it shouldn't be in Unicode at all, but it was included for compatibility
* with existing character sets that already provided it. The Unicode standard
* identifies such characters by giving them "compatibility" decompositions
* into the corresponding semantic characters. When sorting and searching, you
* will often want to use these mappings.
* <p>
* <tt>u_normalize</tt> helps solve these problems by transforming text into the
* canonical composed and decomposed forms as shown in the first example above.
* In addition, you can have it perform compatibility decompositions so that
* you can treat compatibility characters the same as their equivalents.
* Finally, <tt>u_normalize</tt> rearranges accents into the proper canonical
* order, so that you do not have to worry about accent rearrangement on your
* own.
* <p>
* <tt>u_normalize</tt> adds one optional behavior, {@link #UCOL_IGNORE_HANGUL},
* that differs from
* the standard Unicode Normalization Forms.
