ISO/IEC 14651

In today's world, ISO/IEC 14651 has gained unprecedented relevance. Whether in the field of science, culture, entertainment or politics, ISO/IEC 14651 has become a fundamental topic of discussion and analysis. Its impact has transcended borders and has generated a great debate in contemporary society. In order to understand its importance and implications, it is necessary to carry out a deep and detailed study that allows us to delve into all its dimensions. In this article, we will explore different aspects related to ISO/IEC 14651, from its origin to its influence in today's world, with the aim of shedding light on this topic that is so relevant today.

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 an International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard specifying an algorithm that can be used when comparing two strings. This comparison can be used when collating a set of strings. The standard also specifies a datafile specifying the comparison order, the Common Tailorable Template, CTT. The comparison order is supposed to be tailored for different languages (hence the CTT is regarded as a template and not a default, though the empty tailoring, not changing any weighting, is appropriate in many cases), since different languages have incompatible ordering requirements. One such tailoring is European ordering rules (EOR), which in turn is supposed to be tailored for different European languages.

The Common Tailorable Template (CTT) data file of this ISO/IEC standard is aligned with the Default Unicode Collation Entity Table (DUCET) datafile of the Unicode collation algorithm (UCA) specified in Unicode 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 amendment Amd.1:2017 was published in September 2017 and covers up to and including Unicode 9.0.
