> Yes but it is almost useless. Consider the word ΑΫΛΟΣ its lowercase form is
άυλος,
thus the ά <-> Ά mapping does not solve this problem, Another problem in the
opposite direction is the correct handling of ή and uni1F22: when they are
used
as disjunctive they both should become Ή (Etatonos), while when they are
used
as ordinary letters they must become Eta.
