Hi, I'm a bit puzzled. Do you really get properly uppercased output while the mapping are actually wrong? With fixed mapping, \WORD works ok, which si actually what i expect because utf is fully expandabel to \namedglyphs which, givven the proper encoding, expand to characters, which can be uppercases.
