I finally got Unicode support into my AS Studio application so that AS
would stop erroring on Cyrillic and/or Runic text. Surprisingly, AS
recognizes lowercase/uppercase for Cyrillic letters, and
considering/ignoring the case of these works just like in traditional
Roman script.
My problem now is in the Runic script, which makes up all of 2 of 31
letters of the Icelandic alphabet. Specifically, the characters
designated by the HTML code ð and þ (the list would eat it up
if I typed it). While I could make a special special case for this, I
thought I'd note it to the AppleScript team and also ask around if
anyone knows of any really fast vanilla methods around it. FWIW, AS
handles the case of ligatures properly, though almost all of the
extended Roman diacriticals (okay, so that's another considering block,
but still) do not work properly, for example, a y and an
acute-accented-y do not match ignoring diacriticals according AS, nor
does an s and a caron-s.
Food for thought, especially with Apple's push for internationalization
of software.
