Ok. This sounds like an interesting detour. Can you elaborate on that one? I doubt I will ever use that knowledge, but it sounds like it is worth knowing anyway.

The author says “any lowercase character” but they mean “any character between the character ‘a’ and the character ‘z’”, which happens to correspond to the lower case letters in English but doesn’t include ü, õ, ø, etc.

lol really? Why not? Is that true for all encodings? Is it a bug or a feature? What about a simple character set like gsm-7 Swedish?

The Swedish alphabet includes characters outside of the a-z range.
