Unicode also contains many Precomposed Character s. So in many cases it is possible to use both combining diacritics and precomposed characters, at the user or applications choice. This leads to a requirement to perform Unicode Normalisation before comparing two unicode strings and to carefully design encoding converters to correctly map all of the valid ways to represent a character in unicode to a legacy encoding to avoid data loss. For example, when converting between Windows-1258 and VISCII , the former uses combining diacritics whilst the other has a large selection of precomposed characters so a converter using a simple mapping between code values and unicode code points will mess up text when converting between them.
