Abstract

In this paper we discuss the comparison of two strings of Bangla language represented by Unicode character set. This comparison order maintains the Bangla Academy rule. This method can be used to sort Bangla words perfectly A few works has been done on this topic but no standard is set up yet to sort Bangla words. Some of these works are based on ASCII representation. As a part of internationalization, Unicode representation is much more preferable than ASCII representation. We discussed an easy way to compare not only the Bangla words but also the Unicode Bangla strings. In our method, a mapping is used which simplified the sorting procedure. This method can compare any Unicode Bangla strings and it is not keyboard dependent.
