Snippet Name: DECOMPOSE

Description: DECOMPOSE is valid only for Unicode characters. DECOMPOSE takes as its argument a string in any datatype and returns a Unicode string after decomposition in the same character set as the input. For example, an o-umlaut code point will be returned as the "o" code point followed by an umlaut code point.

'unicode_string' can be any of the datatypes CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, CLOB, or NCLOB.

CANONICAL causes canonical decomposition, which allows recomposition (for example, with the COMPOSE function) to the original string. This is the default.

COMPATIBILITY causes decomposition in compatibility mode. In this mode, recomposition is not possible. This mode is useful, for example, when decomposing half-width and full-width katakana characters, where recomposition might not be desirable without external formatting or style information.
