Examples

“American and European programmers are often surprised to discover⟳ that not all locales use⟳ a two-case alphabet. Eastern languages (e.g., Japanese and Chinese) based on ideograms are monocase; while Middle Eastern languages can have⟳ four or more cases.”

New passwords should be at least four characters long if they use⟳ a sufficiently rich alphabet and at least six characters long if monocase. Only the first eight characters of the password are significant.”
