## Summary of the Pull Request Fixes PowerRename failing to normalise different Unicode forms before matching. This results in filenames containing visually identical characters to the search term from failing to match because their underlying binary representations differ. This affects renaming files created on macOS which names files in NFD (decomposed form) rather than Windows' NFC (precomposed form). Additionally, this fixes matching to filenames containing non-breaking space characters, which can be created by automated systems and web downloaders. Previously, the NBSP character would fail to match a normal space. <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist - [x] Closes: #43971 - [x] Closes: #43815 - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.

Precomposed characters (NFC) typed by Windows users, e.g. `U+0439` - `й`. 2. Decomposed characters (NFD) found in filenames from other platforms (or copied from text), e.g. `U+0438` `U+0306` - `и` + `̆ `. 3. Standard spaces (`U+0020`) versus non-breaking spaces (`U+00A0`). ### Updates to PowerRenameRegex.cpp I added a `SanitizeAndNormalize` function which replaces all non-breaking spaces with standard spaces and normalises the string to **Normalization Form C** using Win32's `NormalizeString`. `PutSearchTerm` and `PutReplaceTerm` now normalise input immediately before performing any other processing. `Replace` now normalises the `source` filename before processing. I updated the RegEx path to ensure it runs against the normalised `sourceToUse` string instead of the raw `source` string; otherwise regex matches would fail. <!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well --> ## Validation Steps Performed Manually tested the use case detailed in #43971 with the following filenames: - `Testй NFC.txt` - `Testй NFD.txt` Result: <img width="1097" height="542" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/55dd4f01-8ec9-462c-a20f-dd246c368cf5" /> There are two new unit tests which exercise both the non-breaking space and Unicode form normalisation issues. These run on both the Boost- and non-Boost test paths, adding four tests to the total. All new tests fail as expected on the prior code and all PowerRename tests pass successfully with the changes in this PR: <img width="606" height="276" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/08dc01f6-201c-4d56-8f34-e5043e3d1e86" />
