But I won't be using the word "Letter", but "letter" (lower case).
Nobody will assume that this refers to the Unicode standard;
people would rather expect that this is [A-Za-z] (i.e. not expect
non-ASCII characters to be considered at all). So elaboration is
necessary, anyway. I take the risk of confusing the 10 people that
ever read UTS#18 :-) |
