Re: Uppercase version of ß desired

Thanks Philip. Certainly interesting, As long as postgresql and python return something different for upper and lower case versions of these letters and python indexing of the string picks out the characters "properly" then it might not require a python fix for me. What a can of worms! But at lea

Re: Uppercase version of ß desired

The relevant Unicode reference is https://unicode.org/faq/casemap_charprop.html#11 Which basically says that since Unicode 5.0 (its now at Unicode 15.0) stability is guaranteed and the upper-casing to (U+1E9E ẞ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S) is optional. > On 14 Mar 2023, at 9:12 pm, Philip S

Re: Uppercase version of ß desired

Hmmm. Yes the unicode rules seem to be a little strict on conforming to the past! I just made the following fix to my python code in forming the upper case alphabet from the lower case one: uc_alphabet = lc_alphabet.replace('ß', 'ẞ').upper() So far I have only found German to have a lower case l
