You may be aware of the problems related to the consistency of the two separate
letter 'I's in the Turkish alphabet (and the alphabets that are based on the
Turkish alphabet).
Lowercase and uppercase versions of the two are consistent in whether they have
a dot or not:

This appears to be a library issue to me. If Phobos can't do this
properly, your options are basically:
1. Find a third party library solution.
2. Write
I think it's great that you're doing a Turkish programming tutorial! I
can't help you, though, with details of the Turkish language because I
have no idea how it works.
The only thing I can suggest is using a setlocale for Turkish is the
wrong way, as Unicode was supposed to get away from that

I started to see this at a more fundamental level. The Unicode letter I
(dotless capital i) has two possible lowercases and letter i has two possible
uppercases. The chain of some historical events appears to have produced a

It is a very interesting story. The Turkish 'i's have caused lots of trouble,
even hardcoded conditionals in at least the early Java libraries that checked
whether the locale was Turkish.
Even t

You're assuming it's possible and practical to write every method that

No, only the base methods. You can build on them to create other
things. With a compare method you can do sorting according to

There are existing ICU bindings in the mango project, see dsource.org

It's quite simple actually.
I is the uppercase form of ı.
İ is the uppercase form of i.
