Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes:

With the exception of Unicode. If you check the standard, two Unicode
codepoints (i.e. the numeric value that gets stored on disk) *can* map
to the same character, hence they are the same. They don't just look the
same, they are the same character -- even if the codepoints are
different (i.e. precomposed vs. decomposed characters). In fact, part of
the Unicode standard deals with that. (Technically, Unicode calls it
equivalence, but what the hey).

In other words, Unicode treats e.g. both U+0065 and U+00E9 as
fundamentally the same character. This comes even more into play in such
alphabets as Hangul (Korean) and the Japanese Kana.
