Letter, Lowercase (Ll)
All code points with General_Category Ll.
Tips
- Audit text assets to ensure lowercase letter coverage across scripts and languages you support.
- Define and document rules for case folding and title casing in your UI and data pipelines.
- Test identifiers and tokens to avoid accidental uppercase conversion where it matters.
- Consider accessibility when letter case affects contrast or readability.
- Plan localization workflows that preserve lowercase semantics in transliteration and sorting.
Letter, Lowercase (Ll) covers all code points that are considered lowercase letters in their script. It is a broad category used when you need to recognize or process lowercase forms in text, identifiers, and data. This category helps ensure that software can distinguish case while respecting script rules and language conventions.
Typical usage includes text processing, locale-aware sorting, and rendering pipelines where lowercase forms must be preserved or transformed correctly. Pitfalls include mixed-case data mishandling, incorrect case folding across scripts, and edge cases in languages with special letter forms. For context, Ll sits among other general categories that help define character behavior without tying you to a single language or region.
