The locales are defined in locale definition files, probably located
in /usr/lib/locale (or something similar) on your system.  That's how
to determine the difference...

This *SHOULD* never happen, because in no language/locale that I'm
aware of is '.' ever included in either range (a-z, or A-Z).  Those
ranges should always include only alphabetic characters.

The problem with the output of `ls' is that punctuation is ignored
entirely in collate order, when your language is set to en_US, though
this really makes no sense whatsoever.
