This doesn't always work by the way. When you venture outside of ASCII, it's quite often uppercase(lowercase(x)) ≠ uppercase(x) and/or the other way around.

The German letter ß gets uppercased to SS instead of ẞ by most libraries in a neutral/generic culture. ẞ on the other hand gets lowercased to ß.

This happens because there wasn't an official ẞ in German until recently but the uppercasing/lowercasing standard was already written for ß.
