Expanding Rules

Sometimes a character must be sorted as if it were a character string. For example, the German character ß is sorted as if it were ss. Another example is ö, which is sorted as if it were oe. These characters are called expanding characters. (In a monolingual linguistic sort, expanding characters are called special letters.)

The Expanding Rules table contains the following information:
