I am trying to convert a string into uppercase using a specific character encoding, but it fails.
When I convert istanbul, it converts it into ISTANBUL. However, uppercase “i” is “İ” in Turkish. Is there any solution to this?
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/fgZZp/
Thanks in advance,
To some degree – the JavaScript String class does have a
toLocaleUpperCasemethod, but the locale used is always the user’s locale. You can’t arbitrarily choose a locale for it to use.(Nitpick: What you’re asking about is a locale issue, not character encoding. Character encoding only has to do with what bits are used to represent a given character; it doesn’t generally affect how operations on those characters should behave.)
