?????????

Is 10 before or after 3 which is before or after 5?

You are dumb!  Characters are not sorted; numbers are sorted --
and this is the whole point of normalization.

Of course, Chinese chars are way down the list with American
ASCII at the very top.  I suppose that, in time, the Chinese
will scrap Unicode and replace it with an encoding that has
their characters at the very top.
