If you aren't accustomed to Unicode arcana, NormalizationFormC probably isn't so meaningful either. I think either *NormalizationFormC or *NFC is fine as a signature.


And it follows the customary Java principle of don't abbreviate.

I'm not aware of such a principle, maybe because it isn't always followed. Put it this way, if NFC is a well-known abbreviation, it's a candidate to appear in a signature. We don't worry too much about using XOM, or DOM,
