#
# The approach is to use the Unicode decomposition data to identify
# precomposed codepoints that are equivalent to a ligature of several
# letters, or a base letter with any number of diacritical marks.
-# There is also a small set of special cases for codepoints that we
-# traditionally support even though Unicode doesn't consider them to
-# be ligatures or letters with marks.
#
-# [1] http://unicode.org/Public/7.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt
+# This approach handles most letters with diacritical marks and some
+# ligatures. However, several characters (notably a majority of
+# ligatures) don't have decomposition. To handle all these cases, one can
+# use a standard Unicode transliterator available in Common Locale Data
+# Repository (CLDR): Latin-ASCII. This transliterator associates Unicode
+# characters to ASCII-range equivalent. Unless "--no-ligatures-expansion"
+# option is enabled, the XML file of this transliterator [2] -- given as a
+# command line argument -- will be parsed and used.
