# 7.9.2. `TokenFilterNFKC100`

## 7.9.2.1. Summary

New in version 8.0.9.

This token filter can use the same option by NormalizerNFKC100. This token filter is used to normalize after tokenizing. Because, if you normalize before tokenizing with `TokenMecab` , the meaning of a token may be lost.

## 7.9.2.2. Syntax

`TokenFilterNFKC100` has optional parameter.

No options:

    TokenFilterNFKC100

`TokenFilterNFKC100` normalizes text by Unicode NFKC (Normalization Form Compatibility Composition) for Unicode version 10.0.

Specify option:

    TokenFilterNFKC100("unify_kana", true)

    TokenFilterNFKC100("unify_kana_case", true)

    TokenFilterNFKC100("unify_kana_voiced_sound_mark", true)

    TokenFilterNFKC100("unify_hyphen", true)
