How do gt(e)/lt(e) index methods work with strings?

I swear I saw this covered somewhere but couldn't find it. How do lt/gt methods on indexes handle strings - do uppercase/lowercase letters follow js character code order or something else?

Strings are ordered based on their utf8 encoding -- which is often the same ordering as js character codes which are utf16. In particular, all uppercase letters are less than lowercase letters.
