I don't know what you're seeing, but that's not unexpected in some cases. If it applied NFD and decomposed the characters, you would get the base characters + a set of combining characters out. It could also translate special spaces to normal ones, or even impose NFKC or NFKD, which would normalize all sorts of characters--that's questionable, because it turns things like ² into 2, but it may be expected by some programs. -- Kie ekzistas vivo, ekzistas espero.
