Is that really a problem? Admittedly my encoding skills are not great,
but AFAIK in UTF-8 those are just different set of bytes, so they
shouldn't be confused.

A lowercase 'umlaut a' would be something like:
11000011 10100100

An uppercase 'umlaut A' would be something like:
11000011 10000100

Which is completely different to lowercase 'a'
01100001
