Hence the RFC 7613, mentioned already here by Marc Blanchet, that you
must really read if you're interesed in Unicode passwords.

In that case, the RFC is clear: NFC mandatory (and UTF-8 encoding).

   4.  Normalization Rule: Unicode Normalization Form C (NFC) MUST be
       applied to all characters.
