UAX #44, Section 5.9.1 says: | For all numeric properties, and for properties such as | Unicode_Radical_Stroke which are constructed from combinations of | numeric values, use loose matching rule UAX44-LM1 when comparing | property values. | | UAX44-LM1. Apply numeric equivalences. | • "01.00" is equivalent to "1". | • "1.666667" in the UCD is a repeating fraction, and equivalent to | "10/6" or "5/3". This strongly suggests that the implementation should be changed, not to match the data, but to match the specification. -- Doug Ewell | http://ewellic.org | Thornton, CO 🇺🇸 _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list [email protected] http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
