The syntax of collation customization (tailoring) in ICU[snip]
( http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/userguide/Collate_Customization.html )
is character-based and may be more intuitive:
for French: "[backwards 2]&A << \u00e6/e <<< \u00c6/E"
for Spanish: "&N < n\u0303 <<< N\u0303" "&C < ch <<< Ch <<< CH" "&l < ll <<< Ll <<< LL"
However Unicode::Collate also allows linguistic tailoring. Certainly its interface requires hard code of weights and may be less user-friendly.
#!perl use strict; use warnings; use Unicode::Collate;
That rocks. It is the answer to my original post which started this thread!
Thank you much.
