# compareNonliteral

Specifies that loose equivalence is acceptable, especially as pertains to diacritical marks.

## Declaration

```swift
static var compareNonliteral: CFStringCompareFlags { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion For example, “ö” represented as two distinct characters (“o” and “umlaut”) is equivalent to “ö” represented by a single character (“o-umlaut”). Note that this is not the same as diacritic insensitivity.
