Custom collation tool

A user interface is provided to facilitate a collation creation process that automatically establishes collation support for sorted linguistic data. Through this user interface, the provider of the sorted linguistic data may participate in the collation creation process by answering queries concerning the sorted linguistic data. The provider's input is integrated into the sorted linguistic data before the collation creation process is applied to the sorted linguistic data. The user interface enables the interaction between the provider of the sorted linguistic data and the collation creation process. The user interface provides information concerning the sorted linguistic data, such as Unicode codepoints and character properties. The user interface provides visual cues identifying distinctions among the strings in the sorted linguistic data.
