How would you have handled the introduction of the new glyph for the
euro? How would you know if your database would acurately compare its
representation of that character to whatever representation you were
asking the database to evaluate?
The Euro has nothing to do with the many permutations of the same 189
glyphs that have been around since probably before the 5250 data stream
was first developed.
And knowing if a database accurately compares "its representation of
that character to whatever representation you were asking the database
to evaluate" doesn't require multiple permutations; it merely requires
that both sides of the conversation be on the same permutation. Which
would be much simpler if, for any given collection of characters, there
were only one valid permutation.
