Mia,

I can provide a C program for Unicode normalization if you prefer,
calling either of a couple of libraries. But almost any Unix
machine would have Perl or Python installed, so need to mess
with compiling Java or C.

You shouldn't really need to use such separate normalization programs.
I don't know what you use for sorting, but a good Unicode sort
program should have normalization built in.
