 I think there is a working solution mentioned in
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35951#comment:4

 I am waiting for feedback on this approach for months now.

 The hosting team is officially recommending the `intl` PHP extension which
 is needed to use this patch:
 https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/2021/05/20/why-hosters-should-install-
 the-php-intl-extension/

 There is a polyfill mentioned here
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/52654#comment:14 which could be a
 solution for everyone on a hoster not having the `intl` extension.

 You could try to push this solution and provide the polyfill as a
 fallback.

 Or you could provide the wanted solution in a plugin like
 https://github.com/Zodiac1978/tl-normalizer
 (https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/normalizer/) if you can't wait for a
 core solution.

 Another plugin is https://github.com/gitlost/unfc-normalize
 (https://wordpress.org/plugins/unfc-normalize/).
