My mail reader can't handle UTF-8, so I'll decode by hand. If I didn't
do it wrong those are:
CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER PE
CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A
CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER EF
CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A
and
HEBREW LETTER PE
HEBREW LETTER SAMEKH
HEBREW LETTER QOF
I would expect them to compare unequal regardless of the locale, with
the characters from page 4 preceeding the characters from page 5.
