Unicode-correct title case in Java

Question

I\'ve been looking through all StackOverflow in the bazillion of questions about capitalizing a word in Java, and none of them seem to care the least about internationalizat

Answer 1

The problem is that the differentiation of upper and lower case letters is very language specific. So many, maybe most languages, do not have such.

Anyway, there is a Unicode faq: http://www.unicode.org/faq/casemap_charprop.html

..and I guess there is a Unicode specific mapping table somewhere (something like that ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt). So its probably best to use your own conversion method.
