Interesting. FWIW, Å and Å definitely look different with the terminal
and font I'm using (urxvt with -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-18-120-*-*-*-90-iso10646-*)

Expecting upper/lower operations to be 100% invertible is probably a
ASCII-centric mindset that will falls over as soon as you start
dealing with non-ASCII encodings.
