-- Generate a sortkey from a kana input. This can be any combination of hiragana and katakana, and will not be normalized to hiragana or katakana first. Use ] or ] if that is required, which in turn call this module.
function export.makeSortKey(text, lang, sc)
	-- Normalize long vowel and iteration marks.
	text = normalize_kana(text)
	-- Middle dots and double hyphens (including fullwidth equals signs) become spaces, unless that results in the output becoming all whitespace.
	local orig_text = text
	text = text:gsub("", data.spaces)
	text = umatch(text, "^%s+$") and orig_text or text
	-- For each dakuten and handakuten, remove it and add 1 or 2 apostrophes to the end (respectively).
	local apos = 0
	text = text:gsub("\227\130", function(char)
		apos = apos + data.voicing
		return ""
	end)
