# PostgreSQL ASCII folding
Reasonably fast ASCII folding functions (based on [Lucene asciifolding filter](https://lucene.apache.org/core/4_0_0/analyzers-common/org/apache/lucene/analysis/miscellaneous/ASCIIFoldingFilter.html)) for PostgreSQL
*Example:*
```
postgres=# SELECT asciifold('Hello, ⒩ᴐⱤú⒴⁈~!');
asciifold
----------------------
Hello, (n)ORu(y)?!~!
(1 row)
```
UTF8 input string is not sanitized (invalid UTF8 might lead to undefined behavior)
### Compiling from source (CMake)
```bash
apt install postgresql-server-11-dev
cmake .
make
```
See [asciifolding.c](asciifolding.c) & [build.sh](build.sh) for more information
