Hi!
I'm not sure whether I spotted a bug or a feature in the 5.1.0beta.
It is about casing of the new 1E9E LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S.
My understanding was that with existing text, nothing changes, i.e.,
toupper("=C3=9F") =3D "SS"
casefold("=C3=9F") =3D "ss"
and that the new capital sharp S would behave as follows:
tolower("<CAPITAL SHARP S>")=3D "=C3=9F"
casefold("<CAPITAL SHARP S>")=3D "ss"
However, there is no entry in the CaseFolding list nor in
SpecialCasing for 1E9E in the Unicode 5.1.0beta. The following
document does propose an entry in CaseFolding:
http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n3227.pdf
Is this a bug or a feature?
Bye,
Henrik
