It is updated from NFKD to NFD.  I did not get the point.  Do you mean 
NFC is better than NFD?

Otherwise the NFKD normalization would generate new chars that need to be escaped. Again I am not a Unicode expert and I don't know if NFC will also do the same.

If we continue to use NFKD, normalization before escaping would result 
in unexpected string as we talked for the hello-world example.  It is 
something I want to avoid, so that it is fixed to use NFD instead.  I 
think if we are moving to use NFD, it is does not matter to escaping 
first or normalization first if I understand the UTF-8 correctly.
