DESCRIPTION

These routines examine and operate on Unicode characters, in particular a subset of their properties as defined in the Unicode standard.  Unicode defines some characters as alphabetic and specifies three cases: upper, lower, and title.  Analogously to ctype(2) for ASCII , these routines test types and modify cases for Unicode characters.  The names are self-explanatory. 

The case-conversion routines return the character unchanged if it has no case.
