Got some help on IRC to dentify the charafters as ç and Ç.
I can confirm that both work perfectly fine with UTF-8 and locale
Swedish_Sweden.1252. They sort correctly, and they work with both upper()
and lower() correctly.
This test is with 8.3-HEAD and the patch to allow UTF-8.
This leads me to beleive that something is wrong with the ops system. Most
likely it's just the client that's in UTF8 mode, and the server is
SQL_ASCII.
