    CTL2 Appendix - List of National-specific Characters

    Several functions, e.g. editDistance (string, string, integer, string, integer) need to operate with special national characters. These are important especially when sorting items with a defined comparison strength.

    The list below shows first the locale and then the list of its national-specific derivatives for each letter. These may be treated either as equal or different characters depending on the comparison strength you define.
