Comment:

 As discussed during contributor day, it totally makes sense to normalize
 such strings on post save (and the patch does that well).

 However, from a UX perspective we definitely need to do this in JavaScript
 as well. Otherwise you'll paste the messed up text and correct it by hand
 without knowing that WordPress will fix it for you. See comment
 [comment:18].

 Luckily, there's a new `normalize()` method in the ECMAScript 2016 (ES6)
 standard we can leverage. It's supported by Chrome, Firefox, Opera and IE
 (11+). See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/normalize for
 details.
