Whats "tailoring" in this context? Theres no explanation here and I cant find other articles to wikilink. Shinhan 20:36, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

  • Oppose, lets keep the lowercase one. As I read it, the title is also a correct description of the thing. Therefor we do not need to use the proper name. e.g. think of naming it "Collation (Unicode)" for this same page (is not a proposal, but to illustrate my point). But maybe I do not see enough. -DePiep (talk) 19:29, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I don't get the sense that UCA is a proper name in the same sense as George Washington is a proper name. We don't capitalize binary search, quicksort, or shellsort. There's only one George, but there may be many implementations (and even copies of those implementations) of the algorithm. It doesn't refer to a particular individual.

Using UCA from programming languages

As of 2015, few programming languages offer built-in UCA-compatible alphabetic sorting, and the programmer needs to call on third-party software.

The external link to "Unicode Technical Standard #10" appears to be broken. I have found what appears to be equivalent material at https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/ but I don't feel that I am competent to change the link on the Wikipedia Article page.
