Why draft?

I'm never sure about Unicode, and this is my first "choose any four from eight" type task description.

I think I will change it to ask that at least the first four are done then leave the others as "extra credit" - that way language examples will be more comparable. --Paddy3118 11:16, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Note that, unless constrained by their language, a good programmer will implement this as a sort routine that takes a text normalization function, and after the first two examples this task devolves down to writing the normalization function and testing it. (Some languages provide a sort routine which performs suboptimally with this approach but I think we can neglect that issue here.) --Rdm 12:10, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
