I'm looking for some examples of how and when smart people do a Unicode comparison of strings, versus the framework default.
Since many people don't work with strings from other cultures, here are a few interesting comparison examples I found.
Question
What comparisons are common in the Unicode world? (feel free to expand on the language examples)
What situations should I use (or not use) culture insensitive comparisons? This seems to boil down to either a "linguistic", or a "non-linguistic/(binary)" operation.
I'm particularly interested how this would affect Chinese and other eastern languages.
