36 | according as |
| 37 | .I s1 | |
| 38 | is lexicographically greater than, equal to, or less than | |
| 39 | .IR s2 | |
| 40 | after translation of each corresponding character to lower-case. | |
| 41 | The strings themselves are not modified. | |
| 42 | The comparison is done using unsigned characters, so that '\e200' | |
| 43 | is greater than '\e0'. | |
