Yes, this is what I was trying to say :) Russian locale define this non-Russian (Ukrainian) letter (why ?), and define it at IMHO very strange position - after <U0434>, because <U0453> is after <U0434> in unicode ( http://unicode.org/charts/collation/chart_Cyrillic.html ). I assume that someone trying to implement correct Ukrainian collation with Russian locale, but do this incorrectly... This is not a problem for Russian text, because Russian is not use this letter. If definition of this <U0491> letter can be removed from Russian locale, or placed at correct position, like in Ukrainian locale - before <U0434> at least, then Ukrainian collation rules will be work properly with Russian locale too. It would be useful IMHO. BTW, as you can see in [1], <U0491> (ґ) is located _before_ <U0434> (д). > [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cyrillic_letters -- С уважением, Сергей Бурладян -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
