Characters after "z" in Mac OS X

I'm trying to alphabetize some folders. But I can't seem to find a character that gets sorted after "z". I've tried •»>#×−→§↔•♦¤, but they all get sorted before numbers. Ideally, I'd like an ASCII character (for compatibility with older apps), but any unicode glyph could work.

8-Core 3.0GHz (late 2008), 16GB, 5TB, Nvidia 8800, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

No other ASCII characters will sort after z in the Finder. Click here for information about Unicode glyphs.

All other Greek characters and those of any other script I think.
