ICU Normalization Character Filter
editNormalizes characters as explained
here.
It registers itself as the icu_normalizer character filter, which is
available to all indices without any further configuration. The type of
normalization can be specified with the name parameter, which accepts nfc,
nfkc, and nfkc_cf (default). Set the mode parameter to decompose to
convert nfc to nfd or nfkc to nfkd respectively:
Which letters are normalized can be controlled by specifying the
unicode_set_filter parameter, which accepts a
UnicodeSet.
Here are two examples, the default usage and a customised character filter:
