An Improved Unicode Based Sorting Algorithm for Bengali Words

Abstract

This paper describes an improved method of sorting Bengali words based on Unicode representation. There are different related works in this area but they are not efficient enough for a large dataset. Some works are based on ASCII representation where other are based on Unicode representation. We have chosen a Unicode based sorting algorithm for our work as Unicode produces a unique representation for each character of Bengali language. Here we have proposed and implemented an improved version of sorting algorithm for Bengali words where mapping is used to simplify the sorting procedure. We have improved the mapping system of the algorithm which is convenient for memory optimization. Moreover, the improved version of the algorithm is more efficient than the previous one.
