# What are different types of Collation Sensitivity?

There are basically three types of Collation Sensitivity: \
1. Case sensitivity - A and a, B and b, etc.\
2. Accent sensitivity\
3. Width sensitivity - A single-byte character (half-width) and the same character represented as a double-byte character (full-width) are treated differently than it is width sensitive.\
