I was reading one of the answers on how LC_ALL=C can be used to speed up grep searched. I understand all that when I test it using strace but one thing that I don't understand is why sort command give different output if locale is set to C,



cat a
C 
B
A
c
a
b


using sorting with unicode,



$ cat a | sort
a
A
b
B
c
C


sort with LC_ALL=C,



$ LC_ALL=C sort a
A
B
C 
a
b
c


Both A in unicode and ascii is 65 and a in both is 97, then why there is difference in sorting?



Can someone please explain why?
