Ligatures (184 entries) + +Ligatures are multi-character combinations that cannot decompose via Unicode normalization: + +**Common Examples:** +- `Æ` → `AE` (U+00C6) - Latin capital letter AE +- `æ` → `ae` (U+00E6) - Latin small letter ae +- `Œ` → `OE` (U+0152) - Latin capital ligature OE +- `œ` → `oe` (U+0153) - Latin small ligature oe +- `ß` → `ss` (U+00DF) - German sharp s +- `IJ` → `IJ` (U+0132) - Latin capital ligature IJ +- `ij` → `ij` (U+0133) - Latin small ligature ij +- `ff` → `ff` (U+FB00) - Latin small ligature ff +- `fi` → `fi` (U+FB01) - Latin small ligature fi +- `fl` → `fl` (U+FB02) - Latin small ligature fl +- `ffi` → `ffi` (U+FB03) - Latin small ligature ffi +- `ffl` → `ffl` (U+FB04) - Latin small ligature ffl +- `ſt` → `st` (U+FB05) - Latin small ligature long s t +- `st` → `st` (U+FB06) - Latin small ligature st + +**Why dictionary needed:** These are atomic characters in Unicode but represent multiple Latin letters. Normalization cannot split them. + +**Distribution:** +- Germanic ligatures (Æ, æ, ß): Critical for Nordic languages +- French ligatures (Œ, œ): Essential for proper French text handling +- Typographic ligatures (ff, fi, fl, ffi, ffl, st): Used in professional typography +- Other Latin ligatures (DZ, Dz, dz, LJ, Lj, lj, NJ, Nj, nj): Rare but present in some Slavic languages + +### 2. Special Latin (16 entries) + +Latin characters with special properties that don't decompose via normalization: + +**Examples:** +- `Ð` → `D` (U+00D0) - Latin capital letter eth (Icelandic) +- `ð` → `d` (U+00F0) - Latin small letter eth (Icelandic) +- `Þ` → `TH` (U+00DE) - Latin capital letter thorn (Icelandic) +- `þ` → `th` (U+00FE) - Latin small letter thorn (Icelandic) +- `Ø` → `O` (U+00D8) - Latin capital letter O with stroke (Nordic) +- `ø` → `o` (U+00F8) - Latin small letter o with stroke (Nordic) +- `Ł` → `L` (U+0141) - Latin capital letter L with stroke (Polish) +- `ł` → `l` (U+0142) - Latin small letter l with stroke (Polish) +- `Đ` → `D` (U+0110) - Latin capital letter D with stroke (Croatian) +- `đ` → `d` (U+0111) - Latin small letter d with stroke (Croatian) +- `Ħ` → `H` (U+0126) - Latin capital letter H with stroke (Maltese) +- `ħ` → `h` (U+0127) - Latin small letter h with stroke (Maltese) +- `Ŧ` → `T` (U+0166) - Latin capital letter T with stroke (Sami) +- `ŧ` → `t` (U+0167) - Latin small letter t with stroke (Sami) + +**Why dictionary needed:** These characters represent phonemes that don't exist in standard Latin. The stroke/bar is not a combining mark but an integral part of the character. + +**Language importance:** +- Icelandic: Ð, ð, Þ, þ (critical) +- Nordic languages: Ø, ø (Danish, Norwegian) +- Polish: Ł, ł (very common) +- Croatian: Đ, đ (common) +- Maltese: Ħ, ħ (only in Maltese) + +### 3. Cyrillic (66 entries) + +Russian Cyrillic alphabet transliteration to Latin: + +**Examples:** +- `А` → `A` (U+0410) - Cyrillic capital letter A +- `Б` → `B` (U+0411) - Cyrillic capital letter BE +- `В` → `V` (U+0412) - Cyrillic capital letter VE +- `Ж` → `Zh` (U+0416) - Cyrillic capital letter ZHE +- `Щ` → `Sh` (U+0429) - Cyrillic capital letter SHCHA +- `Ю` → `Yu` (U+042E) - Cyrillic capital letter YU +- `Я` → `Ya` (U+042F) - Cyrillic capital letter YA +- `ъ` → `"` (U+044A) - Cyrillic small letter hard sign +- `ь` → `'` (U+044C) - Cyrillic small letter soft sign + +**Why dictionary needed:** Cyrillic is a different script family. No Unicode normalization path exists to Latin. + +**Note on transliteration:** The mappings use a simplified transliteration scheme for backward compatibility with existing Umbraco URLs, not ISO 9 or BGN/PCGN standards. For example: +- `Ё` → `E` (not `Yo` or `Ë`) +- `Й` → `I` (not `Y` or `J`) +- `Ц` → `F` (not `Ts` - likely legacy quirk) +- `Щ` → `Sh` (not `Shch`) +- `ъ` → `"` (hard sign as quote) +- `ь` → `'` (soft sign as apostrophe) + +### 4. Punctuation & Symbols (169 entries) + +Various punctuation marks, mathematical symbols, and typographic characters: + +**Quotation marks:** +- `«` → `"` (U+00AB) - Left-pointing double angle quotation mark +- `»` → `"` (U+00BB) - Right-pointing double angle quotation mark +- `'` → `'` (U+2018) - Left single quotation mark +- `'` → `'` (U+2019) - Right single quotation mark +- `"` → `"` (U+201C) - Left double quotation mark +- `"` → `"` (U+201D) - Right double quotation mark + +**Dashes:** +- `‐` → `-` (U+2010) - Hyphen +- `–` → `-` (U+2013) - En dash +- `—` → `-` (U+2014) - Em dash + +**Mathematical/Typographic:** +- `′` → `'` (U+2032) - Prime (feet, arcminutes) +- `″` → `"` (U+2033) - Double prime (inches, arcseconds) +- `‸` → `^` (U+2038) - Caret insertion point + +**Why dictionary needed:** These are distinct Unicode characters for typographic precision. They don't decompose to ASCII equivalents. + +### 5. Numbers (132 entries) + +Superscript, subscript, enclosed, and fullwidth numbers: + +**Superscripts:** +- `²` → `2` (U+00B2) - Superscript two +- `³` → `3` (U+00B3) - Superscript three +- `⁰⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹` → `0456789` - Superscript digits + +**Subscripts:** +- `₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉` → `0123456789` - Subscript digits + +**Enclosed alphanumerics:** +- `①②③④⑤` → `12345` (U+2460-2464) - Circled digits +- `⑴⑵⑶` → `(1)(2)(3)` (U+2474-2476) - Parenthesized digits +- `⒈⒉⒊` → `1.2.3.` (U+2488-248A) - Digit full stop + +**Fullwidth forms:** +- `０１２３４５６７８９` → `0123456789` (U+FF10-FF19) - Fullwidth digits + +**Why dictionary needed:** These are stylistic variants used in mathematical notation, chemical formulas, and CJK typography. No decomposition path to ASCII digits. + +### 6. Other Latin Extended (367 entries) + +Various Latin Extended characters including: + +**IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet):** +- `ı` → `i` (U+0131) - Latin small letter dotless i (Turkish) +- `ʃ` → `s` - Various IPA characters + +**African and minority languages:** +- `Ŋ` → `N` (U+014A) - Latin capital letter eng (Sami, African languages) +- `ŋ` → `n` (U+014B) - Latin small letter eng + +**Historical forms:** +- `ſ` → `s` (U+017F) - Latin small letter long s (archaic German, Old English) + +**Extended Latin with unusual diacritics:** +- Various characters from Latin Extended-B, C, D, E blocks + +**Why dictionary needed:** These include rare phonetic symbols, minority language characters, and archaic forms that either don't normalize or normalize to non-ASCII. + +## Normalization-Covered Characters + +The following 487 characters are handled automatically via Unicode normalization (FormD decomposition): + +### Common Accented Latin (Examples) + +**French:** +- `À Á Â Ã Ä Å` → `A` (various A with diacritics) +- `È É Ê Ë` → `E` (various E with diacritics) +- `à á â ã ä å è é ê ë` → lowercase equivalents +- `Ç ç` → `C c` (C with cedilla) + +**Spanish:** +- `Ñ ñ` → `N n` (N with tilde) +- `Í í` → `I i` (I with acute) +- `Ú ú` → `U u` (U with acute) + +**German:** +- `Ä ä` → `A a` (A with diaeresis - not umlaut in normalization) +- `Ö ö` → `O o` (O with diaeresis) +- `Ü ü` → `U u` (U with diaeresis) + +**Portuguese:** +- `à ã` → `A a` (A with tilde) +- `Õ õ` → `O o` (O with tilde) + +**Czech/Slovak:** +- `Č č` → `C c` (C with caron) +- `Ř ř` → `R r` (R with caron) +- `Š š` → `S s` (S with caron) +- `Ž ž` → `Z z` (Z with caron) + +**Polish:** +- `Ą ą` → `A a` (A with ogonek) +- `Ć ć` → `C c` (C with acute) +- `Ę ę` → `E e` (E with ogonek) +- `Ń ń` → `N n` (N with acute) +- `Ś ś` → `S s` (S with acute) +- `Ź ź` → `Z z` (Z with acute) +- `Ż ż` → `Z z` (Z with dot above) + +**Vietnamese (extensive diacritics):** +- All Vietnamese tone marks normalize correctly +- `Ắ Ằ Ẳ Ẵ Ặ` → `A` (A with breve + tone marks) +- `Ấ Ầ Ẩ Ẫ Ậ` → `A` (A with circumflex + tone marks) + +**Why normalization works:** These characters are composed of: +1. Base letter (A, E, I, O, U, C, N, etc.) +2.
