The result is a character object with the same attributes as x
but with Encoding set to "UTF-8".
Arguments
x
character object.
map_case
a logical value indicating whether to apply Unicode
case mapping to the text. For most languages, this transformation
changes uppercase characters to their lowercase equivalents.
map_compat
a logical value indicating whether to apply
Unicode compatibility mappings to the characters, those required
for NFKC and NFKD normal forms.
map_quote
a logical value indicating whether to replace curly
single quotes and Unicode apostrophe characters with ASCII
apostrophe (U+0027).
remove_ignorable
a logical value indicating whether to remove
Unicode "default ignorable" characters like zero-width spaces
and soft hyphens.
Details
utf8_normalize converts the elements of a character object to
Unicode normalized composed form (NFC) while applying the character
maps specified by the map_case, map_compat,
map_quote, and remove_ignorable arguments.
