Special Cases
- The German letter ß primarily exists only in lowercase and is capitalised as "SS" (but see Capital ß).
- The Greek letter Σ has two different lowercase forms: "ς" in word-final position and "σ" elsewhere. In a similar manner, the Latin letter S used to have two different lowercase forms: "s" in word-final position and "ſ" elsewhere. The latter form, called the long s, fell out of general use before the middle of the 19th century.
- The Cyrillic letter Ӏ usually has only a capital form, which is also used in lowercase text.
- Unlike most Latin-script languages that use uppercase "I" and lowercase "i", Turkish has dotted and dotless I independent of case.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or cases:
“An indirect quotation we can usually expect to rate only as better or worse, more or less faithful, and we cannot even hope for a strict standard of more and less; what is involved is evaluation, relative to special purposes, of an essentially dramatic act.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Lovers’ quarrels are not generally about money. Divorce cases generally are.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
