I suggest to add an example to the task to show the effect of case change, in both directions, on Unicode characters. I added an example in the Stata task in ancient greek, and the result is not perfect. I know it's not either in other languages, and I suspect it depends on the underlying implementation of Unicode, but not only: Python seems to behave like Stata, but the Notepad++ text editor does not. As a side note, the example is the first sentence of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Genesis Book of Genesis].

: Good example – in the (traditionally Aramaic) lettering of the original Hebrew of that sentence, 'upper case' is not defined. [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 09:39, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
:: I expect that unicode case handling would belong in a different task, and would also tend to be language specific (depending on the significance of case for the task in question). See http://unicode.org/faq/casemap_charprop.html for some of the issues. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 10:08, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
