Category: Prelude Group: 5.04 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Martin Norb�ck (norpan) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Unicode bug in toUpper/toLower Initial Comment: Since GHC now does full unicode, toUpper ought to be full Unicode also. According to the Haskell 98 Library Report, section 9: Function toUpper converts a letter to the corresponding upper-case letter, leaving any other character unchanged. Any Unicode letter which has an upper-case equivalent is transformed. I take as my example the character � (which is the only one I can write in iso-8859-1 by the way). toUpper '�' ought to be unicode 0178 (hexadecimal). But it's not toUpper '�' gives '�' toLower (toEnum 0x178) gives toEnum 0x178 I understand that this may cause more trouble than it's worth, but either the report needs to be rewritten or the implementation changed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Simon Marlow (simonmar) Date: 2002-09-12 14:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48280 GHC doesn't support Unicode in any real sense. The Char type is 32 bits, but the rest of the system really only works with the ISO 8859 character set. Nonetheless, I'll leave the bug report here as a reminder :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=108032&aid=608378&group_id=8032 _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
