Surprising but it looks to me like a bug in Java's collation rules for
en-US. According to
http://developer.mimer.com/collations/charts/UCA_latin.htm, \u00D8
(which is Latin Capital Letter O With Stroke) should be before U,
implying -1 is the correct result. Java is returning 1 for all
strengths of the collator. Maybe there is some other subtlety with this
character...
