Description
after rednotebook reads all the day files, and when it is trying to sort categories, it raises an error.
After some investigation I found out that the error is related to locale.strxfrm in line 516 in journal.py:
@property
def categories(self):
return sorted(
set(itertools.chain.from_iterable(day.categories for day in self.days)),
key=locale.strxfrm,
)
What I think is happening is that locale.strxfrm does not accept characters that are incompatible with the locale.
For example, my locale is en.US.UTF-8. For example: locale.strxfrm("عربي") will raise an error

What I wish to happen, is that categories are sorted regardless of the characters type or locale.
