People say you shouldn't compare apples and oranges but it seems to work fine for me in Python 3.14, I don't see what the issue is...

@emmatyping What do you mean? It has utterly failed! It got it completely backwards even. SMH.

[slyecho@mdon.ee]

@emmatyping It's not even just in Pyhon...

[emmatyping@hachyderm.io]

@nazokiyoubinbou I regret to inform you the results are quite consistent across Apples.

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@emmatyping This is so horrendously wrong...

@emmatyping oh great, now we're going to have to know this stuff when manually lexically sorting records with emoji in their titles.

[thomasjwebb@mastodon.social]

@emmatyping I'd also say that python is wrong but I guess my beef is with the unicode consortium.

[gkrnours@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@emmatyping that's because they sre string, not and . Also, I'm pretty sure `class : ...` is invalid python but I could be wrong

[girgias@phpc.social]

@emmatyping PHP also doesn't have a problem comparing them!

[0x4d6165@wanderingwires.net]

@emmatyping is this just comparing their place on the Unicode table?

[emmatyping@hachyderm.io]

@0x4d6165 Yup! red apple is U+1F34E, while tangerine is U+1F34A, so red apple compares greater than tangerine!
