The following example converts a string of lowercase characters to two strings of uppercase characters using the English-United States and Turkish-Turkey cultures, then compares the uppercase strings. The uppercase strings are identical except that for each occurrence of the Unicode LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I in one string, the other string contains LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE.
using System; using System.Globalization; class Example { public static void Main() { string str1 = "indigo"; string str2, str3; // str2 is an uppercase copy of str1, using English-United States culture. str2 = str1.ToUpper(new CultureInfo("en-US", false)); // str3 is an uppercase copy of str1, using Turkish-Turkey culture. str3 = str1.ToUpper(new CultureInfo("tr-TR", false)); // Compare the code points and compare the uppercase strings. ShowCodePoints("str1", str1); ShowCodePoints("str2", str2); ShowCodePoints("str3", str3); Console.WriteLine("str2 is {0} to str3.", String.CompareOrdinal(str2, str3) == 0 ? "equal" : "not equal"); } public static void ShowCodePoints(string varName, string s) { Console.Write("{0} = {1}: ", varName, s); foreach (ushort u in s) Console.Write("{0:x4} ", u); Console.WriteLine(); } } // This example displays the following output: // str1 = indigo: 0069 006e 0064 0069 0067 006f // str2 = INDIGO: 0049 004e 0044 0049 0047 004f // str3 = INDIGO: 0130 004e 0044 0130 0047 004f // str2 is not equal to str3.
