Normalize

What It Does

Standardizes text by applying Unicode normalization and optionally removing diacritical marks (accents). It ensures consistent text representation regardless of how characters were originally encoded.

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Required
string	The text to normalize	String	Yes
form	The Unicode normalization form	String	No
removeAccents	Whether to remove accents from characters	Yes/No	No

Outputs

Name	Description	Type
string	The normalized text	String

How to Use It

1. Drag the Normalize node into your graph.

2. Connect the text you want to normalize to the "string" input.

3. Select the desired normalization form (NFC, NFD, NFKC, or NFKD).

4. Set "removeAccents" to true if you want to remove diacritical marks from characters.

Tips

• Use NFC (default) for most general text normalization needs.

• Setting "removeAccents" to true will convert characters like "é" to "e" while preserving the base character.
