- ICU provides Unicode support for non-English languages with
- character sets outside the range of 7bit ASCII, like
- Greek, Russian, German and French. Pazpar2 uses the ICU
- Unicode character conversions, Unicode normalization, case
- folding and other fundamental operations needed in
- tokenization, normalization and ranking of records.

<para>
- Compiling, linking, and usage of the ICU libraries is optional,
- but strongly recommended for usage in an international

While noise from misbehaving targets can not be removed, it can
be reduced using truly Unicode based ranking. This is an
option which is available to the system administrator if ICU
- support is compiled into Pazpar2, see
+ support is compiled into YAZ, see
<xref linkend="installation"/> for details.
