'�' sorts before '�' in Swedish, I believe. (I'm Swedish.)
I was using konsole (non-utf8 xterm) above, sorry.
But something is wrong, in UTF-8 konsole/xterm:
$ locale charmap
UTF-8
$ set|grep -e ^LA -e ^LC
LAMHELPFILE=/etc/lam/lam-helpfile
LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8
$ echo -e "z\n�\n�\n�"|sort
�
�
�
z
$ echo -e "z\n�\n�\n�"|sort
�
�
�
z
$
Err. I entered the characters into the xterm, no cut'n'paste.
The sv_SE (no UTF-8) locale seems to work fine.
