Can this tool normalize all types of Unicode characters including emojis?

Yes, the tool normalizes Unicode letters, numbers, punctuation marks, ligatures, and emojis that contain letters, converting them to simple ASCII characters while allowing users to configure which characters output as-is.

How do I control whether certain characters remain unchanged in the output?

The tool provides configuration options to output some characters as-is, giving users control over which Unicode glyphs are normalized versus preserved in the result.

What is the difference between normalizing Unicode and simply removing special characters?

Normalization converts complex Unicode character strings into their simplest, canonical plain text equivalents rather than deleting them, preserving the semantic meaning while ensuring universal compatibility across systems.

Can I use this tool to fix garbled text that appears when moving between different platforms?

Yes, by normalizing Unicode representations, the tool resolves encoding discrepancies that can cause display errors or data corruption when transferring text between applications or websites.
