Mountain View, CA, USA – February 2,
2010 – The new version of Unicode Technical Standard #10, Unicode Collation Algorithm has been
released, updating to Unicode
Version 6.1.
This new version adds a number of features:
- The collation ordering for the 732 new Unicode characters.
- A major revision to the ordering of "variable" characters into groups, separating punctuation and symbols. This change may present migration issues for some implementations.
- Options added for ignoring spaces and punctuation (but not symbols), and for reordering groupings of characters, such as putting Latin characters before Greek (for Greek users), or digits after letters.
- A new section on asymmetric search (where a query of the base character 'e' matches é, è,…, but a query of the more specific é doesn't match other accented versions or the base character).
- Important restructuring and clarifications of other sections.
