> Is NFD so rare?

My understanding is that NFD is pretty much limited to OS X. Windows uses precomposed form, and most other systems that became Unicode aware later (including the Web as a whole) naturally leaned towards Windows compatibility.

I do not know very much about modern Linux though.

Sounds like a robust solution would also have to deal with malformed strings (unpaired surrogates etc). I'd prefer if we didn't need to round trip these.

Perhaps a way to hide this issue in practice would be for chromium filesystem code to try a different normalization if a file is not found at first.
