Interesting. I don't recall seeing the "SZ" form before.

The Unicode Standard provides case mappings in the UnicodeData.txt
file for every version of Unicode and, for non 1:1 mappings, in
SpecialCasing.txt.
Character case is identified in UnicodeData.txt.
The Unicode Collation Algorithm is specified in UTS #10.
There's certainly no shortage of desire on the part of the Unicode
Consortium to nail down every aspect of plain text processing with
Unicode.

I have numerous books on writing systems and the like, but for the
rules for Unicode text, I look to the Unicode Standard.
