1839354 - Catalan geminated L (l·l) is not capitalised correctly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1839308

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Richard Ishida]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/114.0

Steps to reproduce:

The sequence <l·l> in Catalan orthography signals a geminated /l/ sound. The midpoint dot should not lead to capitalisation of the second l. For example, a capitalisation of cancel·lar should produce Cancel·lar and not Cancel·Lar.

Actual results:

Blink and Webkit both do the right thing here, but Gecko produces Cancel·Lar.

Expected results:

Tests & results
Interactive test, text-transform:capitalize doesn't uppercase a word-medial long L in Catalan, whether written as 2 or 3 characters. https://github.com/w3c/character_phrase_tests/issues/59

Please fix so that capitalize doesn't uppercase the second L.
