PS: Did you know the unicode collation algorithms also includes a way to produce a sequence of bytes for a unicode string, such that sorting the produced sequence of bytes in strict byte order will produce the proper collation order for the original strings? Which is how you implement high-performance unicode collation sorting in say a db. Unicode is a very well-designed thing!
