It is now possible to enter UTF-8 into Linux
databases,
so this is what we will be doing in the future.
Sorting
Unicode is already possible. Please see my much
earlier
message to this and other groups on Indic collation,
and also
<http://oriya.sarovar.org/ download/indicsort.tar.gz>
I am still waiting for feedback on sorting issues
beyond the preliminary tests that I did. As the
glossary entries are fed into a database which can do
things like export as CSV, I am not sure what you mean
by separating on tab-delimted fields.

Gora
