Method: UnicodeUtils.upcase

Defined in:
lib/unicode_utils/upcase.rb

.upcase(str, language_id = nil) ⇒ Object

Perform a full case-conversion of str to uppercase according to the Unicode standard.

Some conversion rules are language dependent, these are in effect when a non-nil language_id is given. If non-nil, the language_id must be a two letter language code as defined in BCP 47 (tools.ietf.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt) as a symbol. If a language doesn’t have a two letter code, the three letter code is to be used. If locale independent behaviour is required, nil should be passed explicitely, because a later version of UnicodeUtils may default to something else.

Examples:

require "unicode_utils/upcase"
UnicodeUtils.upcase("weiß") => "WEISS"
UnicodeUtils.upcase("i", :en) => "I"
UnicodeUtils.upcase("i", :tr) => "İ"
