how does gapu resolve to 501...?

INSERT INTO z VALUES ('gapu',   '{''55'',  ''02'',  ''12''}')

or have I misunderstood something...
..........
why bother to store the kana at all (except for speed) when you can 
work back from it from your sort codes... 5 2 2 are just co-ordinates 
in a multidimensional array. (It would make the example tricky to 
understand, admittedly...) It would be "3byte sortable kana"... 50% 
more space.  Not a bad tradeoff, for sortability.

looks quite useful actually - I will have to do this soon...
