No, it shows that they consider the sequence to be a _letter_ and they
choose to sort it in a particular way. In Northern S�mi, A and � are
considered different letters and receive separate chapters in the
dictionary. In Irish Gaelic, A and � are considered variants of the same
letter and are interfiled (with A preceding � in the case of a tie).
