This is why I choose to rely upon a serious case converter.

Hey Yvan,
Did the OP mention case conversion? I must have missed that...
I usually use the Satimage.osax for upper/lower case conversions in Applescript, but there are other options.
I imagine Shane will chime in with an ASObjC library that will do the job quite nicely as well.

The OP didn't ask for case conversion but converting the character to test into uppercase give us the ability to see if it was an uppercase or a lowercase.
if it was uppercase, the original is equal to the converted if it was a lowercase, the original is not equal to the converted.
As far as I know there is no other way to achieve the test.
Example : character id 7877 which is ể
versus character id 7876 which is Ể
And even the given script is not perfect, character id 120146 which is 𝕒 is described as uppercase because the convert case code doesn't change it into 𝔸 It seems that the different pieces of code apply only in the range $0 thru $FFFF.
I guess that Shane will give us the piece of library doing the conversion and maybe will explain why it doesn't apply for ids greater than 65535 ($FFFF).
