If you want to know WAY too much about how unicode characters are
ordered, you can take a gander at this:

http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr10/tr10-16.html

The summary: Outside of the characters A-Z, you cannot guarantee that
a particular locality will have a different way of ordering characters
than yours.  The only reason A-Z are fixed is because of convention.

Hi!

When I sort these characters in an UTF-8 document . . .
         ,      (comma = U+002C)
         .      (full stop = U+002E)
         ;      (semicolon = U+003B)

. . . they end up like this:
        , (comma)
        ; (semicolon)
        . (full stop)


Why does the full stop take the last position when the semicolon has
a higher unicode code?


Thanks for input!


Best regards,
