Dear Troy,

I just generated a test build of Ezra Project using your latest SWORD 
update including the new Unicode toUpper map.

I tested with the German language setting on Android and it works! The 
Umlauts are displayed correctly. Thank you for this change. I am going 
to do some additional tests with other languages soon.

Best regards,
Tobias
