I did read some years ago that one of the Sorbian languages (Lower Sorbian,
I think, but I can't be sure), titlcased the d/zcaron combination as
D/Zcaron rather than D/zcaron. The implication of the text -- sorry, I
can't remember which book it was in and don't have my library handy at the
moment --
was that this differed from the other Sorbian language orthography.

Language must belong to the Other -- to my linguistic community
as a whole -- before it can belong to me, so that the self comes to its
unique articulation in a medium which is always at some level
indifferent to it. - Terry Eagleton
