The Hebrew script is caseless, so there are naturally no case-folding
rules applicable to it.

Unicode does provide rules for case-folding strings (which is not
quite the same as converting them to lower case). The table is at
http://www.unicode.org/Public/5.0.0/ucd/CaseFolding.txt .

[P]olice in many lands are now complaining that local arrestees are insisting
on having their Miranda rights read to them, just like perps in American TV
cop shows.  When it's explained to them that they are in a different country,
where those rights do not exist, they become outraged.  --Neal Stephenson
