The Unicode Technical Committee has posted a new issue for public
review and comment. Details are on the following web page:
http://www.unicode.org/review/
Review periods for the new items close on January 31, 2005.
Please see the page for links to discussion and relevant documents.
Briefly, the new issue is:
62 Proposed Update UTS #10 Unicode Collation Algorithm
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/tr10-12.html
A proposed update for UTS #10: Unicode Collation Algorithm (UCA) is
available for public review. The main feature is the update of the
repertoire to Unicode 4.1.0 (for synchronization, UCA 4.1.0 will be
available within the month after Unicode 4.1.0). Other changes include:
- Use of ignorable character (especially CGJ) to interrupt contractions
- Changing the mechanism for reordering Thai/Lao characters to use
contractions
- More detail about alternatives for handling Hangul characters
- Additional options in Searching and Sorting
- The data tables are not yet available, but the changes can be summarized
as: assignments for all new 4.1.0 characters, additions of Thai/Lao
contractions, plus changes in the weighting of certain Latin characters,
some previously ignorable characters, and modifications of certain other
Thai characters.
