Differences that aren't ?

After  a unison sync, I see strange "differences."  Here is what I see:

WGroleau@MBP ~ % head -4 .unison/Countries.prf
# Unison sync for Countries/Contries

root = /Users/WGroleau/Countries
root = /Users/WGroleau/Contries
WGroleau@MBP ~ % unison Countries
Unison 2.53.7 (ocaml 5.2.0): Contacting server...
Looking for changes
Reconciling changes
Nothing to do: replicas have not changed since last sync.

Apparently unison reads composed characters on one side and decomposed characters on the other and considers them the same.
"A    ̊  **   l   a   n   d "   vs   " Å  **   l   a   n   d"   in the above
