(I am advised by Eli Zaretskii that this deficiency in the
documentation should be dealt with by submitting a bug report using
"M-x report-emacs-bug RET".)

The EmacsWiki page https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CharacterFoldPlus
gives no indication of the important capability of character folding to
search for text in Unicode Normalisation Form D or Unicode
Normalisation Form C using a search string expressed in the opposite
normalisation.

Yours faithfully,

Richard Wordingham.
