Additional Information

  • strdowncase is Unicode (UTF-8) compliant and will work with Unicode or plain ASCII text fields.
  • If passed a string argument that is not legal Unicode, it will by default signal an error (configurable as a user preference).
  • A corresponding function bstrdowncase can be used with non-Unicode strings (e.g., binary or legacy encodings).
  • Generic (non-language-specific) Unicode case conversion is used.
