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.
