Collation Chart for Paired Punctuation

Expand Here for Explanation and Key

This page provides a collation chart. It presents information about the DUCET table of the Unicode Collation Algorithm (UCA), visualized so as to highlight the distinctions between primary, secondary, and tertiary weights supplied in the DUCET.

Each primary distinction is presented by starting a new row in the table. Characters differing only by secondary or tertiary weights, and those otherwise equivalent at all levels of the weighting, are displayed in continuation cells in the same row with the character initiating the row for the primary distinction.

To prevent rows from becoming unnecessarily long for display, the rows are wrapped in the table, with the wrapped rows using an initial blank cell to show the wrapping by a visual indentation.

Each cell is shaded to indicate the strength of the difference between that character and the previous character in the chart. The background colors are explained in the following key:

Highlighting shown for "No Expansions" refers to characters whose collation weight contains a single primary weight. "Expansions" refer to characters whose collation weight expands to two or more primary weights. That is typically the case for characters that have a compatibility decomposition into a sequence of letters. In some cases more than one character may be entered in the cell. This indicates the collation weighting involves a contraction in the DUCET.

Hovering over a table cell in the table will show the character name and its associated collation weights. When there is a sequence of character names, those are separated by commas. The weights are shown in square brackets, with the lists of primary, secondary, and tertiary weights each separated by a vertical bar: |. An asterisk associated with a weight value indicates that that weight is treated as a variable for collation. The table is ordered using the shifted option from UCA, which means that variable weights have a lower priority than the non-variable weights. See the UCA documentation for more explanation.
