ISO/IEC 14651:2016,Information technology -- International string ordering and comparison -- Method for comparing character strings and description of the common template tailorable ordering, is anInternational Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard specifying analgorithm that can be used when comparing twostrings. This comparison can be used when collating a set of strings. The standard also specifies a data file, the Common Tailorable Template (CTT), which outlines the comparison order. This order is meant to be tailored for different languages, making the CTT a template rather than a default. In many cases, however, the empty tailoring—where no weightings are changed—is appropriate, as different languages have incompatible ordering requirements. One such tailoring isEuropean ordering rules (EOR), which in turn is supposed to be tailored for different European languages.
TheCommon Tailorable Template (CTT) data file of this ISO/IEC standard is aligned with theDefault Unicode Collation Entity Table (DUCET) datafile of theUnicode collation algorithm (UCA) specified inUnicode Technical Standard #10.
This is the fourth edition of the standard and was published on 2016-02-15, corrected on 2016-05-01 and covers up to and including Unicode 8.0. One additional amendmentAmd.1:2017 was published in September 2017 and covers up to and including Unicode 9.0.
