Characters in Unicode order are often not the linguistically or culturally correct order. For example, from YottaDB in UTF-8 mode:
YDB>set sz="ß",SZ="ẞ" write $ascii(sz)," ",$ascii(SZ)
223 7838
YDB>set umch="äëïöüÿÄËÏÖÜŸ" for i=1:1:$length(umch) write $ascii($extract(umch,i))," "
228 235 239 246 252 255 196 203 207 214 220 376
YDB>write "Öhman"]"Pfaff"," ","Ohman"]"Pfaff"
1 0
YDB>write "Öhman"]]"Pfaff"," ","Ohman"]]"Pfaff"
1 0
YDB>
Has anyone developed collation routines (
https://docs.yottadb.com/ProgrammersGuide/internatn.html#creating-the-alternate-collation-routines) so that YottaDB can correctly display German words and names? Thank you very much.
