I'm dubious about sorting 500 the same as D. After all, if you do
that, you have to sort 50 the same as L, and so either sort 500 before
50, or L before D.

It is, of course, silly to treat this slightly different representation
of the letter D as being a different character. This is like treating
D in different fonts as being different characters.
