So this > is not really Unicode-compliant, it's a half-measure of sorts. (I'm not sure it is relevant for this discussion, but to the actual users of "å", "å" isn't an "a-with-an-accent" but a proper letter in the alphabet with its own position in the alphabet. When sorting, it would in some countries using it, be expected to have "aa" sorted equivalently, but never "a" (å is at or near the end of the alphabets using it, "a" is at the start). In a search engine hits with "aa" instead of "å" would be expected, but in emacs search I would only expect to hit "å" and "Å")
