Coming from primarily being exposed to the US American alphabet, I'm familiar
with characters that I type into the computer having one of two cases. Either
it is lowercase by default (c
) or I can hit the shift key to produce the
uppercase version (C
).
Unicode, which has broad support for character encoding across most languages, has a couple characters that are called digraphs. These are single code points, but look like they are made up of two characters.
A good example of this is dž
. And if that character were to appear in an all
uppercase word, then it would display as DŽ
.
But what if it appears at the beginning of a capitalized word?
That's where titlecase comes into the picture -- Dž
.
From wikipedia:
Note that when the letter is the initial of a capitalised word (like Džungla or Džemper, or personal names like Džemal or Džamonja), the ž is not uppercase. Only when the whole word is written in uppercase, is the Ž capitalised.
(I find it odd that wikipedia's article on this digraph code point is using separate characters instead of the digraph.)
