How to check if script is bicameral?

Question

Is there a way to check if a script is bicameral, or with two sets of symbols (like upper- and lower-case) for each letter in C#? An example of a bicameral script is Roman and Greek.

I'm not really sure what you're looking for here. What is you *input*? — Damien_The_Unbeliever, Jan 26 '16 at 07:31
@Damien_The_Unbeliever: say my input is a unicode character, is there a function in C# that could tell me what script it is and if that script is bicameral? — Noble_Bright_Life, Jan 29 '16 at 15:38

Unfortunately, there are no scripts in .Net BCL (or in the Unicode standard either). You can check if a specific character is its own uppercase/lowercase version in a specific TextInfo (but beware of edge cases like the German eszett), but they aren't grouped into scripts.

According to wikipedia, there is an uppercase counterpart to eszett https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_%E1%BA%9E. Is that form accepted nowadays? – Noble_Bright_Life Jan 27 '16 at 08:13
