What's silly about that? If they'd store it in precomposed form (NFC)
instead, you still can't use a simple string compare unless you normalize
all strings. And even better, some characters used in some languages
simply have no precomposed form at all, which means you'll always have to
be prepared to handle characters composed of several Unicode code points.
