Hi, I agree that it's important to think about it in UTF-8. I think about UTF-8 support case folding function in past few days. Maybe... It is like below? ``` grapheme_setlocale($locale); grapheme_icontains($haystack, $needle); ``` First, grapheme_* function supports locale. Second, add grapheme_icontains function for case insensitive version for str_contains. . What do you think?
