Take a look for yourself at > https://github.com/PeterWAWood/UnicodeOutOfTheBoxTests Funnily enough, this was covered in our marketing mailer yesterday ;) http://summerschool.livecode.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=82&Itemid=615 The hint I wrote shows how to do proper case conversions (i.e don't use toupper and tolower - they don't take language-specific rules into account). We do expect to add these into the engine core at some point but we'll need to come up with a framework for locales first.
