Simple : on a Linux host, create files with NFC names, and create an iso image with mkisofs, with rockridge but no joliet. Burn this to a disc, and insert the disc in your OSX host, and try to open files from the finder. Interestingly, IIRC, Finder is able to copy the files, though. As a bonus, try the same with an iso volume name in NFC, it's even better : the created mount point is NFD, but it tries to mount on the name in NFC and fails. And then you just can't eject the CD anymore.
