Iterating character-by-character is different than considering the entire string at once so your observation is correct, that's how it's supposed to work. In particular, note this in String#toLowerCase documentation:
"Since case mappings are not always 1:1 char mappings, the resulting String may be a different length than the original String." So it simply cannot be the same as iterating char-by-char.
