Maybe I'm approaching this from completely the wrong end, but I think
âLC_ALL=C sortâ and âLC_ALL=C.UTF-8 sortâ should have the same ordering
and speedâotherwise C.UTF-8 is somewhat less useful than it could be. I
think this means lexicographical ordering by unsigned bytes. Thanks to
UTF-8 magic, that coincides with codepoint ordering for well-encoded UTF-8.
