First of all, this is an extended joke. The point of the joke is that Czech sorts "ch" as a single letter after "h", so using a COMBINING C BEFORE would make this happen automatically, provided the combining character sorted after all letters. Spanish also sorts "ch" as a single letter, but after "c", so here we want a COMBINING H AFTER. Of course, this is really not the way to do language-sensitive collation. -- Knowledge studies others / Wisdom is self-known; John Cowan Muscle masters brothers / Self-mastery is bone; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content need never borrow / Ambition wanders blind; www.ccil.org/~cowan Vitality cleaves to the marrow / Leaving death behind. --Tao 33 (Bynner)
