By contrast to <function>strtolower</function>, 'alphabetic' is
determined by the Unicode character properties. Thus the behaviour
of this function is not affected by locale settings and it can convert
any characters that have 'alphabetic' property, such as a-umlaut (ä).
</para>
<para>
For more information about the Unicode properties, please see <link
xlink:href="&url.unicode.reports;">&url.unicode.reports;</link>.
