You initdb'd in the wrong locale. You are expecting sort order as in
C locale, but that isn't the default locale setting in recent Red Hat
releases --- en_US is probably what you're using, and that result is
correct according to en_US. (If you don't believe me, try it with
"sort".)

Database encoding doesn't affect this. You'll need to re-initdb
with the desired locale environment.
