I gave a course in internationalization last week, and one of the slides I used indicated that in Norwegian u-umlaut sorts with Y between X and Z. Some Norwegians attending disputed this. I see this is referenced elsewhere as well and is claimed to be true for the other Scandanavian languages also.
I scanned a couple dictionaries and couldn't find a use of u-umlaut. a) Is it true or not that u-umlaut would sort with y, in Scandanavian languages? b) Can someone offers some example words that demonstrate words with u-umlaut sorting appropriately? c) I am guessing that u-umlaut only appears in borrowed foreign words. Regardless, can anyone offer an explanation why u-umlaut would sort with y, instead of u? (OK, I know that international things don't have to make logical sense, but I thought I would ask anyway.) thanks / tack så -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Tex Texin Director, International Business mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +1-781-280-4271 the Progress Company Fax: +1-781-280-4655 ------------------------------------------------------------- Find out about Globalization Empowerment for Progress users mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For a compelling demonstration for Unicode: http://www.geocities.com/i18nguy/unicode-example.html
