If JVMs really can't support unicode NFC then that's a strong case to limit the spec to the subset of unicode that all popular platforms can support, but it sounds like it might just be a JVM string library bug that could hopefully be reported and fixed. I get the same result as in the test case using apple's CFStringNormalize(passphrase, kCFStringNormalizationFormC); Aaron Voisine breadwallet.com On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 11:20 AM, Mike Hearn <mike at plan99.net> wrote: > Yes, we know, Andreas' code is indeed doing normalisation. > > However it appears the output bytes end up being different.
