+The decomposeDiacriticalMarks transform uses the [Normalizer library](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/Normalizer.html) to decompose the diacritical marks.  It specifically uses the Normalization Form KD (NFKD), as described in Sections 3.6, 3.10, and 3.11 of the Unicode Standard, also summarized under [Annex 4: Decomposition](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/tr15-23.html#Decomposition).
+
+After decomposition, the transform uses a [Regex Replace](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html) to replace all diacritical marks by using the `InCombiningDiacriticalMarks` property of Unicode (ex. `replaceAll("[\\p{InCombiningDiacriticalMarks}]", "")`).

+## Testing

+To run some tests in code, use this java code to compare the results of what the transform does to what your code does:

+```java

+
+// Decomposes characters from their diacritical marks
+input = Normalizer.normalize(input, Normalizer.Form.NFKD);
