"""Decomposes a given path string or bytes into its Unicode NFD (Normalization Form D) form.

This function normalizes the input path using Unicode NFD decomposition. If the input is a string, it directly applies the normalization. If the input is bytes, it attempts to decode it as UTF-8, applies the normalization, and then re-encodes it back to bytes. If the bytes cannot be decoded as UTF-8, the original bytes are returned unchanged.

Args:
    path (Union[str, bytes]): The path to be decomposed. Can be a string or bytes.

Returns:
    Union[str, bytes]: The decomposed path in NFD form. Returns a string if the input is a string, otherwise returns bytes.
