You seem to want to the sort order of C, but be aware that you might
have to decide whether you want this:

=> select upper('é' collate "C");
upper
-------
é
(1 row)

or that:

=> select upper('é' collate "en_US");
upper
-------
É
(1 row)

To get the sort order of C but the interpretation of characters closer
to what you'd expect from Unicode, it's possible for the database
to have LC_COLLATE to "C", and LC_CTYPE to, say, en_US.utf-8.
See CREATE DATABASE.
