Unicode collation algorithm

The Unicode Collation Algorithm (UCA) is a specification defined by the Unicode Consortium that provides a method for comparing and sorting strings of text in a way that is culturally and linguistically appropriate. It addresses the complex task of string comparison by establishing a standardized method for determining the relative order of strings based on various linguistic rules and considerations. ### Key Components of the Unicode Collation Algorithm: 1. **Collation Elements**: UCA defines how to break down characters into units called collation elements.
