In Apple Finder.app particular characters come earlier than numerals which then are adopted by alpha characters. It seems that is referred to as “Pure Type Order”

Using ls -f the bracket ends up after numerals and before alpha characters instead of at the beginning.
I have tried changing the locale in the shell without luck.
This is my locale:
0-zsh% locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL="C"
These are possible english locale options
0-zsh% locale -a | grep -i en
