Hmm, this is a case where HN’s title mangling changed the meaning of the title. Lower case delta (δ) is used intentionally. I don’t think HN should automatically modify the casing of non-ascii chars.

Even for ASCII chars, nomenclature in math and physics is usually case-sensitive.

The submitter has a grace period of a few minutes to edit the title after submitting, so there's no need to change what HN does

True, but wouldn’t it be better long term if website automation didn’t create unintended new meanings to Titles? title’s matter

Only if you assume it doesn't ever work as intended.
