Mimer SQL Unicode Collation Charts

Prerequisite

The collation charts that can be obtained from this page may, for a proper display, need additional fonts to be installed on your computer. We suggest you to look at the Unicode character Display Problems? page for help in this matter.

In this context a script is a collection of symbols used to represent textual information. The Unicode Character Database (UCD) provides data for a mapping from Unicode characters to script names.

European Ordering Rules (EOR) is a standard that defines how Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts should be sorted. It should provide guidance on sorting European repertoires in Unicode.

Below are specifications on sorting adjustments for various languages, so called tailorings, needed to get the correct national sort order compared to the Unicode default sorting order.

The sources for sorting issues concerning various languages are shown in the Language Source Links table.

In the table below, languages with their names bolded are among the predefined collations included in the current version of Mimer SQL. For a summary, see our Collation Tailorings overview.

For some of the languages that are not bolded, the collation definition can be found and easily used by copy/paste. Where applicable, see Yiddish for example, the respective language's page contains a Collation link (in the top of the page) that leads to the CREATE COLLATION statement used to define the collation.
