Hello, and greetings, I am new to this 'group'. For character comparison across languages, probably they safest/most well defined solution would be to say they are mapped to Unicode and compared there. However, note that if you specify this only happens when the languages differ, you can get different results in less than and greater than comparisons if the Unicode ordering of characters differs from the underlying language when all you have is a dialect difference. Since this issue is specific to DAV:eq, perhaps that is not a concern. I've seen cases where the ordering of characters differs from the language-specific ordering to Unicode, but am not familiar with those languages enough to know if they had multiple dialects available.
