When I run a query for this string in SQLite with these entries in Cyrillic in a text field, I only find one.

When I put the two strings in two different cells in Excel and search, it only finds the one I copied and pasted in the search prompt.

африканец

I tried checking the encoding on these strings too, but both of them are UTF-8 according to the tools I tried in.

What am I missing? Why does Excel and the SQLite DB don’t see them as the same string?
