I see, thanks!

It's certainly easy to understand, but if it's wrong, I don't think it's even worth considering.

I wanted to create a PR to fix the document, but I am unsure what document is the best reference for full case mapping. @duerst Could you please fix it? Or should we wait until the chart will be fixed?

Bug #18590: String#downcase and CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE

----------------------------------------
Downcasing for "İ" character works in an unexpected way:

```ruby
'İ'.downcase
=> "i̇"
```

Expected result - downcasing should return "i". Instead, it returns small "i" and additional "dot" character:

```ruby
'İ'.downcase.chars
=> ["i", "̇"]
```

According to the standard Unicode case mapping character 'İ'(0130) maps to lowercased 'i' (0069).

```
0130;LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE;Lu;0;L;0049 0307;;;;N;LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I DOT;;;0069;
```
