TUS does not prevent anyone to put noncharacter code points in Unicode
strings. As a matter of fact, p. 23 of TUS 3.0 reads U+ is reserved

private program use as a sentinel or other signal. I would expect this

hold true for the noncharacters that were introduced later too. It may

It is a non-character, which gives it a high (unassigned

the last character.
That is definitely not what I was looking for. It is an illegal codepoint,

Since collation depends on the language and not the code point or encoding
or anything else, there is no absolute last character that would be the last
character in every possible collation?

Lars Kristan asked:
Is there a character (codepoint), that is guaranteed to be sorted (collated)
after all other codepoints?
Like:
_WantThisOneOnTop
Able
Baker
NoMatterWhat
^WantThisOneOnBottom
^^and_so_on
Where _ is the underscore, which is usually collated 'quite high'.
And ^

Well, then I am proposing to introduce such a character.

It is a non-character, which gives it a high (unassigned character) weight in the UCA.

It cannot be a Private-Use character, so few people will be tempted to tailor it to
something other than its default UCA weight.
