APFS does not normalize Unicode filenames
Canonically equivalent Unicode sequences look the same to machines.
Memcmp disagrees, as do the default equality operators of most programming languages in existence.

Sure, but normalisation can nonetheless happen automatically and implicitly in many places.

Rust uses separate string type for file names. I think, that's a good approach. If language normalizes strings behind your back, that's not very good.
