This is a distinctly nontrivial problem, and there have been several

Case folding is very useful for Turkish. For example "Istanbul" is spelled
with an uppercase I DOT ABOVE in Turkish. By case folding but versions are
converted to "istanbul" for matching purposes.
Case folding also converts Greek beta symbol to a small letter beta.

One difference between upper/lower case shifting and case folding is that case folding

I think you might need to specify a language most books can do fine in
theory but practical advice is useless if its for an entirely different
programming language.
So, are you looking for C++, Java, VB, or ?

In Windows ME, works in IE5.5 but not in Netscape 4.7 or Mozilla 2001021204.
So I doubt it would work in say Linux (I haven't tested it, but might be
able to later on).
In IE5.5/ME, it works for me not only with different fontName values, but
even with a list (e.g.,

I have it on good authority that it was purely a space issue. Many other
books were dropped at the same time.
It was kept on the web site, though (since they do not have those space
issues). There has also been loud complaining so maybe that decision will be
re-evaluated.

Knowing the PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE is also necessary in order to give a good
recommendation on practical implementation details.
The most detailed and useful book in the world on Java specifics will do
diddly for VB. And the greatest VB book would be mostly useless for C++. And

Is anyone familiar with the Thai support availible in Sqlserver? I
don't see CP874 listed as one of the supported code pages in Sqlserver

Is Thai one of the languages that is supported only through Unicode? Is
it supported in Sqlserver 2000? Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi,
For Solaris, there are some (online and hardcopy) books that you might find
useful:

Fady,
Besides Nadine's book, Sun also has a good book. If you are implementing
cross platform then be aware the Sun's Wide character implementation is not
Unicode. There are also problems Implementing Unicode on Win95, Win98
WinMe.
A good cross platform solution for C C++ is ICU. Besides
Just Unicode here, it is a better option. :-)

I have a few questions about the Renaissance
musical symbols found inits proposed 3.1 block.
1) I do not see why the notes U+1D1B6-U+1D1C0 are
divided in three different groups, one of them grouping miscellaneous
symbols.
2) U+1D1C0 seems to havean incorrect names
(e.g. "fusa black").

Quick tangential correction to that table that Patrick Andries supplied a
link to: it seems to imply that the Greek accents were musical notation;
they were not. For ancient Greek musical notation see M.L. West, *Ancient
Greek Music*, pp. 254-276, especially the table on p. 256.
