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. > > Additional pointers: > http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode11.0.0/#Migration > http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/Unicode-11.0/U110-1C90.pdf > http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode11.0.0/ch07.pdf (Section 7.7, Georgian, pp. 320-321) 100% correct ---------------------------------------- Feature #14839: How to deal with capitalizing Georgian in Unicode 11.0.0 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14839#change-74394 * Author: duerst (Martin D��rst) * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: duerst (Martin D��rst) * Target version: ---------------------------------------- This is a request for feedback.

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.
