That's true, but not really relevant. What I was saying was that this
letter can be found in text either as a single codepoint, E5, or as a
sequence of 2 codepoints, 61 30A. Unicode mandates that in certain
contexts, like search, users may want to treat both of these as
equivalent, and match them.

Sorting is a related, but different issue, because it also requires an
order relation between characters, whereas search only needs the
equal/not equal relation.

You might, but others might have other expectations. They should be
able to have them.
