The details of what constitutes an uppercase or lowercase letter depend on the current locale. For example, the default "C" locale does not know about umlauts, so no conversion is done for them.

In some non - English locales, there are lowercase letters with no corresponding uppercase equivalent; the German sharp s is one example.
