The collating_chars.sh script uses sprintf("%c", i).

This function works in fine for: i =3D 0 ... 127

For locales with a codeset of ISO-8859-something, it will also work
fine for i =3D 128 ... 255.

Your locale's codeset is utf8, so '[a-z]', '[[:lower:]]', and
'[[:alpha:]]' DO include accented characters. The script is simply not
working properly, because of sprintf() limitations. At least this is
how I understand the issue.
