    10681068Decomposing a string can be used to compare 
    1069 Unicode strings in a binary form. Without decomposing first, two 
    1070 Unicode strings may contain the same text, but not the same binary 
    1071 data. The decomposition of a string is performed according to tables 
     1069Unicode strings in a binary form, providing that they use the same 
     1070encoding. Without decomposing first, two 
     1071Unicode strings may contain the same text, but not the same byte-for-byte 
     1072data, even in the same encoding. 
     1073The decomposition of a string is performed according to tables 
    10721074in the Unicode standard, and should be compatible with decompositions 
    10731075performed by any system.
