The issue is that in Unicode there is a sequence of Georgian caracters different
from what this people think should be.
In modern Georgian there are 33 widely used characters. However before there were
38 characters. In beginning of this century 5 characters were dropped, though still
used in old texts and by language specialists.
In Unicode this 5 characters follow 33. There is a different point of view that
those 5 should be included among the ohters.
This is all the issue - there are no specific implementation difficulties or
problems. The only point is that 5 among the rest 33 is more "correct".
Best regards,
Sandro Karumidze
