Special Cases
- The German letter ß exists only in lowercase (but see Capital ß), and is capitalized as "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 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:
“... there has been a very special man in my life for the past year. All I’ll say about him is that he’s kind, warm, mature, someone I can trust—and he’s not a politician.”
—Donna Rice (b. c. 1962)
“You all know that even when women have full rights, they still remain fatally downtrodden because all housework is left to them. In most cases housework is the most unproductive, the most barbarous and the most arduous work a woman can do. It is exceptionally petty and does not include anything that would in any way promote the development of the woman.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
