From: "martin dot pitt at ubuntu dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org> To: glibc-bugs@sources.redhat.com Subject: [Bug localedata/9844] New: Wrong collation of ĸ: should sort after 'q', not 'k' Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2009 13:26:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <20090214132556.9844.martin.pitt@ubuntu.com> (raw) >From https://launchpad.net/bugs/325159: Quoting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ĸ: > It is used to denote the sound written as [q] in the International Phonetic Alphabet (the voiceless uvular plosive). For collation purposes, it is therefore considered to be a type of 'q', rather than a type of 'k', and should sort near 'q'. At least in fi_FI.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8, ĸ appears next to k when sorted: % for l in j k l p q r ĸ; do echo "$l"; done | sort | xargs j k ĸ l p q r Both Unicode[1] and ISO-14651[2] place ĸ after q and before r. [1]: http://unicode.org/charts/collation/chart_Latin.html [2]: http://www.iso.org/ittf/ISO14651_2006_TABLE1_En.txt The locales seem to base the collation on /usr/share/i18n/locales/iso14651_t1_common, which places ĸ after k. Perhaps the file is based on an outdated version of the ISO-14651 table and needs to be updated. -- Summary: Wrong collation of ĸ: should sort after 'q', not 'k' Product: glibc Version: 2.8 Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: localedata AssignedTo: libc-locales at sources dot redhat dot com ReportedBy: martin dot pitt at ubuntu dot com CC: glibc-bugs at sources dot redhat dot com http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9844 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
