Collation and Conversions: Japanese doesn't have concepts of case and accent. Since we don't have these concepts, we never need it.
OK, that tells case conversions and normalization don't apply to Japanese. But what about collation? Isn't there any "dictionary order" defined for Japanese words? Just curious.
As Ryo IGARASHI said. We have multiple pronunciations for each kanzis. Sorting by pronunciation is just not possible. In the end, we just sort it by internal code point. Sort by code point is not the best solution. But at least, it's consistent if we use one encoding.
Thanks, Gevorg
