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.

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,
