The order of code points in Unicode isn't expected to be culturally correct.
There shouldn't be any need to create a brand new encoding system and map
Unicode code points to it just to achieve proper collation. What you should
do is define a collation table in accordance with Unicode Technical Standard
#10, "Unicode Collation Algorithm," and then apply the collation algorithm
using your table.
