Perhaps surprisingly, that's not so. This is because the alphabets of
*ALL* living languages exist within Unicode's "Basic Multilingual
Plane" (...which is to say, they can be encoded in a single wchar).
The characters outside the BMP (...those which need a dchar, not a
wchar...) are the letters of dead languages, or other special symbols.
The probability that a letter from a living language will uppercase to
a letter of a dead language is as near to zero as makes no odds.
