NFC and NFD character encodings

[sifos]

Hi.
I have an case where users have uploaded tons of files and folders with mac OS to a linux server. So characters are in NFD (Normalization Form D) encoding. BUT since our language has umlauts and the server does not like them in NFD. I need to get them to NFC (Normalization Form C) encoding. I have the option of downloading the files and then reuploading them in a windows/linux machine, but there are TOO many files and folders for this approach to fit in any reasonable time limits.

So I am wondering does BRU have some solution for this case?

Unicode equivalence

Would BRU's Rename Pairs feature do it for you?

There is about 140 TB of data...
the issue is that BRU does not recognize the characters at all.
when I search for ä, it does not see it, but when I search for a it will highlight ä. So i can't even rename them to something else and then rename them back.

See if anything here helps, Remove everything except A-Z and 0-9.
