All names get reduced using Unicode normalization.



Recently, thousands of users were duped into installing "АdВIосk РIuѕ" in Chrome. Every one of those letters is Unicode normalized.

(Hint: it's not just the I's masquerading as l's.)


Fair enough. I'm a little surprised that those hold up under NFK normalization. А sure as heck seems compatible with A.
