Steps to reproduce:

• Enable Unicode normalization in Speech settings
• Open the add-on store
• Select the first add-on
• Press alt+o to go to "Other details" field
• Press NVDA+upArrow to spell the first line; in my case, the text on the first line is: "Publisher: Tseng Woody"

Actual behavior:

All the characters after the colon (:) are reported as "normalized".

Expected behavior:

Only the em-dash character should be reported as normalized: it is actually normalized to space.

Notes

There are various other normalization reporting issues. I may document them later in the comments of this issue.
