The first 128 characters of the Unicode character set are described in Appendix C.
Table 4-3 shows how expressions using the Unicode character set are evaluated.

Expression

Expression Explanation

The Unicode value of ' ' is 32 , and the Unicode
value of 'a' is 97 . Because 32 < 97 is true ,it
follows that ' ' < 'a' is true .

' ' < 'a'

true

The Unicode value of 'R' is 82 , and the Unicode
value of 'T' is 84 . Because 82 > 84 is false ,it
follows that 'R' > 'T' is false .

false

'R' > 'T'

The Unicode value of '+' is 43 , and the Unicode
value of '*' is 42 . Because 43 < 42 is false ,it
follows that '+' < '*' is false .

false

'+' < '*'

The Unicode value of '6' is 54 , and the Unicode
value of '>' is 62 . Because 54 <= 62 is true ,it
follows that '6' <= '>' is true .

'6' <= '>'

true
