      7.3.3.1.2 String reads:

      *****
      Based on the binary comparison of the Unicode characters in the String.
      *****

      This is not a meaningful definition of sort order for Unicode characters, or in the words of Unicode® Technical Standard #10 UNICODE COLLATION ALGORITHM, http://unicode.org/reports/tr10/,

      *****
      The position of characters in the Unicode code charts does not specify their sort order.
      *****

      Collation (sorting) is a complex issue and covered by Unicode® Technical Standard #10 UNICODE COLLATION ALGORITHM in great detail.

      Ad hoc attempts to define Unicode collation lead to bad ends.
