Hi Terry,

The function fn:normalize-unicode() will do what you want, with a second argument of "NFC".

I have input with many dictionary entries, including copy such as this edited pronunciation key:

<div class="story">
    <p>PARTIAL PRONUNCIATION KEY</p>
    <p>aK pat, aB/ pay, C"r care, C$ father, eK pet, eB/ bee </p>
</div>

I need to replace the non-combining characters such as the breve K (&#728;) with the combining form: (&#774;). Is there a way to set up a table so that when the processor encounters the &#728; character it will swap it for the &#774;? Will an ENTITY listing work? Is so, where does one put such an entity listing?
