UTF-8 collating has Upper case sorted before lower case. from: http://unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Case_Comparisons
6.6 Case Comparisons In some languages, it is common to sort lowercase before uppercase; in other languages this is reversed. Often this is more dependent on the individual concerned, and is not standard across a single language. It is strongly recommended that implementations provide parameterization that allows uppercase to be sorted before lowercase, and provides information as to the standard (if any) for particular countries. This can easily be done to the Default Unicode Collation Element Table before tailoring by remapping the L3 weights (see Section 7, Weight Derivation). It can be done after tailoring by finding the case pairs and swapping the collation elements. ---- Anyone not following the above is should likely not claim Unicode compatibilty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120687 Title: Caseless collate sequence in en_GB.UTF8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/120687/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
