I wish languages did a far better job clearly distinguishing between their operations:

1. You are acting in byte space and it’s pretty unambiguous what should happen. We are not acknowledging the semantics of language and alphabets.

2. You’re acting in language space and these operations will behave the way you probably think they should (depending on your cultural expectations, probably)
