Comment on CSS text-transform is language-dependant: the Dutch case explainedparent

Comments

I wonder how the German ß is handled. Having no clue about the implementation of these transforms, wouldn't that be a similar case?

Yes, in Firefox the 'esszet' is transformed in SS when in capital letters. But this done since a long time. The dotted and dot-less Turkic, and the Dutch IJ, are new in Firefox 14 (which is the first browser to support it, AFAIK).

There is some specific cases with accented Greek diphthongs, where the diacritic position changes in upper and lower case, but Mozilla is working on a fix.
