As matter of fact it does, otherwise characters would be the same and we would not have this conversation at all. String can be equivalent and not equivalent at the time, because there are different equivalent relations. Finally, what HFS+ does is even not normalization. In the technote, Apple explains that they decompose some characters but not others for better compatibility. So, you see, there is a PROBLEM here. It is not about byte stream. After all, if it were UTF-16 instead of UTF-8, it would be one to one conversion for each character. So, what gets corrupted by HFS+ are Unicode *characters*. I don't say they do that without *any* reason, but I suppose all Apple developers in the Copland project had some reasons for they did, but the outcome was not very good... Not true. You lose the original sequence of *characters*.
