Hi Ticker, OK, I had the same thoughts.

If the un-normalised string can be represented in the target charset, no need for normalisation. I don't see that styles should be testing names like this, and, if they really need to, clauses for alternate representations could be added. The proportion of input tag values that never make it into the final .img must be quite high, so doing it early could be costly. Ticker On Mon, 2021-11-15 at 11:01 +0000, Gerd Petermann wrote:
Hi all,
see also https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=74231 mkgmap sometimes fails to encode correct strings for a given codepage like 1252 (latin1). I've uploaded a file that contains an area in Germany where the u- umlaut in name Twülpstedt is encoded in two different ways, either with ü (0xfc) or as u + "COMBINING DIAERESIS" (0x75 + 0x308) See umlaut.osm at https://files.mkgmap.org.uk/detail/537
With the current code the 2nd variant is displayed as Twu?lpstedt. This 1-liner name = Normalizer.normalize(name, Normalizer.Form.NFC); helps to change the name to the usual encoding which works well with the codepage translation.
So far so good. Now I wonder where exactly this call should be placed. My first idea was the code where the string is converted to a Garmin label, but maybe it should happen much earlier so that also the style rules "see" the normalized form.
Any thoughts?
Gerd
