fea681da 117.SH NOTES
e139568f 118The behavior of these functions depends on the
1274071a 119.B LC_CTYPE
e139568f 120category of the locale.
fea681da 121.PP
e139568f 122These functions are not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode characters,
fea681da 123because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and title case.
