[New-bugs-announce] [issue12846] unicodedata.normalize turkish letter problem

[Cem YILDIZ]

New submission from Cem YILDIZ <cem at fizy.com>:

unicodedata.normalize cannot convert turkish letter "ı" into "i":


import unicodedata
s = u"üfürükçü ağaç ve ıslıkçı çeşme"
print(shoehorn_unicode_into_ascii(s))
print unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', s).encode('ascii','ignore')

>> ufurukcu agac ve slkc cesme

but the result should be
>> ufurukcu agac ve islikci cesme
