Tracker changed from Misc to Feature Changed from Misc to Feature. The Feature would be to add some option(s) to relevant methods such as `String#upcase`. The baseline (Feature rejected) is that there is no need for options. `String#downcase` is unproblematic. `String#swapcase` is questionable anyway, but assuming there are only monocase (all lower or ALL UPPER) strings in Georgian, it would work fine. It would only produce (non-acceptable) mixed case when starting from (supposedly non-existing) mixed case. I just noticed that `String.capitalize` is actually more difficult than I thought. It is a no-op when applied to lowercase, but it will produce mixed case when applied to all uppercase text. ---------------------------------------- Feature #14839: How to deal with capitalizing Georgian in Unicode 11.0.0 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14839#change-74272 * Author: duerst (Martin D��rst) * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: duerst (Martin D��rst) * Target version: ---------------------------------------- This is a request for feedback. In particular if you are from Georgia (the country, not the US state), or if you know somebody (who knows somebody,...) from Georgia, feedback on this issue is very much appreciated. If I don't get any feedback, I'll precede as explained below. Unicode 11.0.0 introduces an upper-case version of present-day Georgian letters called Mtavruli (the lower case letters are called Mkhedruli). Mtavruli letters are only used to empthasize whole words; there is no initial-letter capitalization in Georgian. Therefore, the Mkhedruli letters do not have Mtavruli letters as their titlecase, but are explicitly mapped to themselves. This means that in Ruby, `mkhedruli.capitalize` would be a no-op although `mkhedruli.upcase` would convert to Mtavruli letters.
