> 99% of Unicode stuff Does that include context-dependent conversion rules like o'reilly -> O'Reilly?

  that is neither up-casing nor-downcasing, but (de)capitalization, which is a significantly more complex task (which ultimately requires up- or down-casing, but a whole lot more before then).

    So it doesn't. If Unicode doesn't cover non-trivial forms of case-folding, 99% of Unicode doesn't mean anything.

      I am not aware of a Unicode concept of "the latin letter o followed by an apostrophe followed by another latin letter". Unicode would identify the glyphs for such a concept, but I don't see how Unicode is involved in this in anyway as far the process of deciding what "capitalized o'reilly" means.

  Sort of, see the Greek example elsewhere in this thread. I don’t think that specific situation is part of Unicode though.
