Indeed. Of all the scripts daily used in computer usage, only Latin, 
Cyrillic and Greek have upper/lower case characters. There are a few more 
not so often used scripts that have upper/lowercase, but that's about it. 
Other scripts like Hebrew/Arabic have their own cultural conventions, 
putting everything into upper/lowercase boxes is just another 
short-sighted western view.
