[Bug 1248239] [NEW] sorting fails on Japanese Unicode characters

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

there seems to be some oddity in interpreting some Japanese unicode
characters in bash and how they should be sorted.

$ ls -1 /tmp/*.txt
/tmp/⑥-test.txt
/tmp/⑤-test.txt
/tmp/④-test.txt
/tmp/①-test.txt
/tmp/③-test.txt
/tmp/②-test.txt
$ ls -1 /tmp/*.txt|sort
/tmp/⑥-test.txt
/tmp/⑤-test.txt
/tmp/④-test.txt
/tmp/①-test.txt
/tmp/③-test.txt
/tmp/②-test.txt

This is while booted into an uptodate precise system.
