DESCRIPTION
The first three routines convert the case of individual
Unicode characters:
If ch represents a lower-case character, Tcl_UniCharToUpper
returns the corresponding upper-case character. If no
upper-case character is defined, it returns the character
unchanged.
If ch represents an upper-case character, Tcl_UniCharToLower
returns the corresponding lower-case character. If no
lower-case character is defined, it returns the character
unchanged.

Tcl_UtfToUpper(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_UtfToUpper(3)
If ch represents a lower-case character, Tcl_UniCharToTitle
returns the corresponding title-case character. If no
title-case character is defined, it returns the correspond-
ing upper-case character. If no upper-case character is
defined, it returns the character unchanged. Title-case is
defined for a small number of characters that have a dif-
ferent appearance when they are at the beginning of a capi-
talized word.
The next three routines convert the case of UTF-8 strings in
place in memory:
Tcl_UtfToUpper changes every UTF-8 character in str to
upper-case. Because changing the case of a character may
change its size, the byte offset of each character in the
resulting string may differ from its original location.
Tcl_UtfToUpper writes a null byte at the end of the con-
verted string. Tcl_UtfToUpper returns the new length of the
string in bytes. This new length is guaranteed to be no
longer than the original string length.
Tcl_UtfToLower is the same as Tcl_UtfToUpper except it turns
each character in the string into its lower-case equivalent.
Tcl_UtfToTitle is the same as Tcl_UtfToUpper except it turns
the first character in the string into its title-case
equivalent and all following characters into their lower-
case equivalents.
BUGS
At this time, the case conversions are only defined for the
ISO8859-1 characters. Unicode characters above 0x00ff are
not modified by these routines.
