Normalization is a way to determine equivalences between codepoint combinations. When comparing, Rust only compares the raw codepoints. Ditto for ordering, Rust only order by numerical values.

The UCS is split in 17 planes, each capable of having 2^16 characters. The Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) is the most used. Knowing this is useful for determine how the encoding is done. UTF-32 is wasteful but simple encoding, where each codepoint takes 32 bits. #RustInParis
