Steven Rowe commented on LUCENE-1390: ------------------------------------- I think that at a minimum, the Latin Extended Additional block [U+1E00-U+1EFF] should be added, since it is included in Unicode v3.0 (the version of Unicode that Java 1.4.2 is conformant with), and it consists mainly of characters which have exact diacritic-stripped ASCII versions. Wikipedia doesn't seem to have a page for this block, and I can't find a code chart PDF for Unicode v3.0 on unicode.org, so here's the PDF for Unicode v5.1 (the latest version): http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1E00.pdf Probably should check against the [Unicode 3.0 data file|http://www.unicode.org/Public/3.0-Update1/UnicodeData-3.0.1.txt] to make sure there haven't been any changes to this block between v3.0 and v5.1.0 - i.e., to make sure that the above-linked PDF is accurate for Unicode v3.0. There is one more Latin block listed in the [Unicode 3.0 blocks data file|http://www.unicode.org/Public/3.0-Update/Blocks-3.txt]: [Latin Extended-B|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Extended-B_unicode_block]. Since many of the characters in this block don't have exact diacritic-stripped ASCII versions, maybe it could be argued that they shouldn't be included in this filter. A fair proportion of them (maybe 40%), however, do. > add ISOLatinAccentFilter and deprecate ISOLatin1AccentFilter > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-1390 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1390 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Analysis > Environment: any > Reporter: Andi Vajda > Attachments: ISOLatinAccentFilter.java > > > The ISOLatin1AccentFilter is removing accents from accented characters in the > ISO Latin 1 character set. > It does what it does and there is no bug with it. > It would be nicer, though, if there was a more comprehensive version of this > code that included not just ISO-Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) but the entire Latin 1 > and Latin Extended A unicode blocks. > See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin-1_Supplement_unicode_block > See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Extended-A_unicode_block > That way, all languages using roman characters are covered. > A new class, ISOLatinAccentFilter is attached. It is intended to supercede > ISOLatin1AccentFilter which should get deprecated. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
