Hi Ilya,
I am sure you saw the answers about Unicode support in Netscape by Misha
Wolf and the pointer to the "locale" definitions on dkuug from Keld
Simonsen.
On culturally correct sorting you might want to look into a SC22/WG20
work item on international string ordering. Alain LaBonte in Canada is
the editor, the project is presently in an early committee draft state.
We do believe though that it is technically sound and hope that it will
go throught the ISO approval process smoothly. The standard will be
ISO/IEC 14651, the current draft can be found on
http://www.dknet.dk:80/JTC1/SC22/WG20/docs/14651.html. Be careful, the
stuff is about 200k.
Another source for sort information is the web site of Michael Everson,
try http://www.indigo.ie/egt/standards/ and select from the index the
proposed sorting order of the mandatory or the extended European subset
of 10646.
If everything else fails, I can either send you a Word 6.0 document
attached to e-mail or a paper copy of the 14651 standard. Please let me
know how much success you have.
Regards
Arnold

Subject: 1)National sorting rules; 2) UTF in Netscape
Hello,
My name is Ilya Gavrishin, I am working for Library for Foreign
Literature,
Moscow, Russia. I have several questions.
1. Does Netscape support Unicode? I'm running Netscape Navigator v3.0
Gold
under Win'95. There is an option Unicode(UTF8) in 'Options/Document
encoding'
menu, but it's never active and I can't activate it. Have I missed
something?
2. I desperately need any information about sorting rules for all
european
languages, Turkish and Greek with notes about primary and secondary
differences
(sort weights of above and below diacritic marks) and multiple mappings
issues.
I would be most grateful for an early response.
Help me, pleeeeeeease!
Thank you, Ilya.
