Special Uppercase Letters

A lowercase character may map to multiple uppercase letters. For example, in German, the uppercase version of ß is SS.

The special uppercase letters table contains the following information:

• The Unicode values (UTF-16) of each lowercase and uppercase character (Lower1, Lower2, Upper1, Upper2)
• Glyphs for each lowercase and uppercase character
