We use IBM ICU library. OS X also use it.

I am not sure that exists such list somewhere...
you can check of course site and docs of ICU ..

ICU works in very natural way for each language as I know.
Your examples are in Spain ?

Just try your strings, and I think you will see it works as you expect.

Also note that CollationAttribte have not only kStrength, but about 7-8
other attributes.

Edit exactly no.
