Yes, maybe.
But is this doable with the glibc transliteration system?
All the glibc/localedata/locales/translit_* files just transliterate
one single character to another character or a list of characters.
It never starts with a character sequence. So I guess this is not supported.
As Jungshik Shin suggests in comment#1, iconv could
normalize the input to NFC before attempting a transliteration.
Certainly not without transliteration, as Rich Felker writes in
comment#3, but *if* transliteration is used, normalizing to NFC and
then doing the transliteration might be a reasonable approach.
