u8_totitle accepts most of the non-alphanumeric ascii codes as word- separators, but besides the 'dot', it fails to recognize the colon (:) and the underscore (_) as separators (can't see why), and also fails the recognize the apostrophe.
I can see reason for this last - one wouldn't want "Adam'S House", or (for that matter) "Wouldn'T". But I suspect that there would be more cases of "M de l'Isle", or "Charles o'Hara", where the names do require capitalisation. The abbreviative use would normally be followed by a single character (and that normally "s"), so could be allowed for with a test on the length of the following "word". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libunistring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1902088 Title: u8_totitle() fails to handle "." as a word separator Status in libunistring package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: u8_totitle() fails to handle "." as a word separator, though the dot is commonly used without any space-character where initials precede a surname. for example, the street address "Largo A.Gemelli"is rendered "Largo A.gemelli" I find it necessary to include the dot (.), comma (,), opening and closing parentheses [(,)], hyphen (-), single and double quotes (',"), and the forward slash (/) as word separators; but the dot (.) is the most common, after the correctly-handled space ( ).
