No, you are correct, the lookup tables are only working on the ASCII 
characters.

The ToolBox calls LowerCaseText and UpperCaseText look for a system 
script resource (itl2) to then decide which lookup table to use.

Using LowerCaseText and UpperCase would be easier, else you would 
have to create some really complicated lookup tables.
