I think that is rather a bug in the wctype functions. Those are ASCII letters 'i' and 'I' and their upper/lower versions are fixed by the Unicode standard to be the corresponding ASCII letters ('I' and 'i'). The Unicode case conversions are not affected by locale.

I think that is rather a bug in the wctype functions. Those are ASCII
letters 'i' and 'I' and their upper/lower versions are fixed by the
Unicode standard to be the corresponding ASCII letters ('I' and 'i').
The Unicode case conversions are not affected by locale.
