As Brendan Murray already mentioned, UTF-8 is an encoding form of Unicode,
so it supports *all* Unicode characters.

Note that in C, it's essentially just as fast to make character comparisons
with (ch | 0x20) as with ch alone, i.e., if you know ch is in an ASCII range
(0 - 0x7F or 0xE - 0xE007F), you can do a case insensitive compare as
quickly as a case sensitive one. The problem with assuming lower case
