When you ask locale-aware functions to compare strings, convert to lower-case,
or what the case may be, these functions expect the strings to have a certain
encoding (after all they just receive a stream of bytes, so they cannot check
the encoding themselves). So if the function thinks it's comparing two
KOI8-R strings and you are actually passing UTF-8 strings, the results are
going to be close to comparing garbage.
