Last time I cheked it on Windows no UpperCase is performed for
WideString for codepoints > 127, maybe it has been changed recently (1
month). And yes default case conversion for "ë" is "Ë" as default
conversions are right in around 99% cases in most common languages,
only a few exceptions are available. Sort engine is much more
complicated and much more language tied (To be conforman with each
language) but default case always do a reasonable result for most cases.
