Can I map custom characters to normal uppercase equivalents?

Hello.

I'm about being finished with  catch all case conversion and identifying handlers for unicode text with AS.

There are however still some mapping to be done.

See:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters

I have some questions

Can I for instance map the lowercase character  Latin Small Letter C with curl : "ɕ"  ( utf value 0255) to "C"?
— Will this be right for any cases you know of in particular? 
-I can't say I have seen this in any Germanic language which I speak, read and write.
And can I do this in all similar cases? And finally: is there any exceptions to this?


This question is for you fancy Roman descended  and Non Northern Germanic language users:  Hungarian, Finnish, Polish, French, Italian, Spanish  and  so on. 
Please do share your expertise with me.  I would like to make as good case conversion routines as possible, and can't do without you. 

Best regards




Tommy Bollman
