you can do var allLetters = "aäbcç..."; foreach (var letter in letters) doSomething(letter);
So the abstraction is not leaky anymore. One could provide a factory that accepts a culture as a parameter to create the allLetterString... allLetters = AlphabetFactory.GetLetters(myCulture); in case of the default culture, just do the int to char trick.
