The latter suggests that the bar across the equals sign might be regarded as a 
diacritic. In that sense, it might be something similar to an ‘i’ and a dotless 
‘i’. In both cases, there might be *some* justification for regarding the 
characters as equal in a non-literal search.

Interestingly, this page:

shows 0xfa0a “decomposing” to 0x898b, which if technically correct may well 
have some effect on the results you’re seeing.

Clearly, there’s a bug, in at least the range returned by your original 
example. It’s unclear whether the match is also a bug.

I meant you should try the locale of the language (Japanese?) to which the 
characters belong.
