```
    Returns the common chars of an input string compared to an target string. The logic works directional, so it's important to always compare to the same target and change the input
    
    Parameters:
    
    locale - the locale used to any string normalizations
    
    input - the input string to compare against the target
    
    target - the target string
    
    Returns:
    
    a value between 1 and 0, where 1 means all chars are common and 0 means no chars are common.
