  • Configurable character variant unification
    Patent number: 9880636
    Abstract: A method for configurable character variant unification is provided in the illustrative embodiments. A determination is made that a unification profile is applicable to a circumstance in which a character variant has been selected. The character variant is a variation of a character in a set of variations of the character such that each variation of the character in the set is represented by a unique Unicode code point. A unification repository is identified according to the profile. A determination is made whether the character variant satisfies a unification rule. Responsive to the character variant not satisfying the unification rule, a different variation of the character is selected from the unification repository, the different variation forming a replacement character variant. The replacement character variant is used in place of the character variant.
