[New-bugs-announce] [issue33108] Unicode char 304 in lowercase has len 2

[Kiril Dimitrov]

New submission from Kiril Dimitrov <kiril.dimitroff at gmail.com>:

>>> chr(304)
'İ'
>>> chr(304).lower()
'i̇'
>>> len(chr(304).lower())
2

This breaks unicode text matching. There is no other unicode character with the same behaviour (in 3.6.2 and 3.6.4).
