 From examining the code in String.java (in the current JDK 1.2.2
build), it appears that String.toLowerCase() does not correctly
handle the Greek capital letter sigma. The lower-case sigma has
two presentation forms: initial/medial and final, which are
represented by different Unicode code-point values. Translation
to lower case it thus context-sensitive: If the character
following the sigma is a letter, use the initial/medial form;
otherwise, use the final form. The current logic relies on the
Unicode character database, which will always return the
initial/medial form.

To reproduce the problem, use the following code:

public class SigmaTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String input = "\u0399\u0395\u03a3\u03a5\u03a3 \u03a7\u03a1\u0399\u03a3\u03a4\u039f\u03a3";
                // "IESUS XRISTOS"

        String output = input.toLowerCase();

        if (output.equals("\u03b9\u03b5\u03c3\u03c5\u03c2 \u03c7\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2"))
            System.out.println("PASS");
        else {
            for (int i = 0; i < output.length(); i++)
                System.out.print(" " + Integer.toHexString((int)(output.charAt(i))));
            System.out.println();
        }
    }
}

This program produces the following output:

3b9 3b5 3c3 3c5 3c3 20 3c7 3c1 3b9 3c3 3c4 3bf 3c3

The 3c3 at the end of the string and the one before the space
should both be 3c2. (The other two 3c3's should still be 3c3.)

Greek letters small and capital are displayed correctly,
but converting small greek letters (unicode) to upper case
results in the display of the latin version of the characters,
i.e. small pi converts to capitel P. small sigma to capital S
etc.

Additional test case from duplicate 4519837:

public class A {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        String checkedString = "\u03A30";
        String ExpectedLowerString = "\u03C20";
        if(!checkedString.toLowerCase().equals(ExpectedLowerString))
            System.out.println("Incorrect lowercase");
        else
            System.out.println("ok");
    }
}
