[mkgmap-dev] MapSource special behaviour with Chinese characters (unicode)

Wed Dec 1 14:59:36 GMT 2021

Hi Gerd

Our unicode sort is known to be incomplete and this incompleteness is
probably reflected in the SRT subfile. MapSource might try and use this
to effectively reproduce the Mdr section we don't write for unicode and
this could make lots of names look identical and hence not to be shown
in the street selection list.
