### Enumeration

# GLib NormalizeMode

since: 2.0

#### Declaration

    enum GLib.NormalizeMode

#### Description

Defines how a Unicode string is transformed in a canonical form, standardizing such issues as whether a character with an accent is represented as a base character and combining accent or as a single precomposed character. Unicode strings should generally be normalized before comparing them.

Available since: 2.0
