No, it's not. In many languages, an accented character is a completely different letter. It's alphabetized separately, it's pronounced differently, and there are many words that differ only in the presence of an accent. Changing the capitalization of C does not change the word. Adding or removing an accent does. > The Unicode compability equivalence has similar effect too, such as > "half width letter" and "full width letter". You'll find that the Unicode compatibility equivalence does nothing as ill-conceived as unifying e and e', for very good reason because that would be a horrible mistake. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
