Description:
See documentation: "8.2.3. Mapping of Identifiers to File Names" (version 5.5, also 5.1). The second bullet has a table which lists uppercase/lowercase mapping for non-Latin1 characters, based on Unicode ranges.

The seventh row says:
Code range Pattern            Number   Used Unused  Blocks
1E00..0EFF [@][g..z][l..r] 20*7= 140  136     4  Latin Additional Extended

I _expect_ the Code range to be (1E00..1EFF), which is the range of Unicode block "Latin Extended Additional" (sic).

It _is_, in its descending range, enclosing a much wider range, (1E00..0EFF), including dozens of blocks (& scripts).

How to repeat:
See documentation as is. No code involved.

Suggested fix:
Change "1E00..0EFF" into "1E00..1EFF".

Indeed, this row in the table at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/identifier-mapping.html should be fixed.

Bar says the correct row is:

1E00..1EFF [@][g..z][l..r] 20*7= 140  136     4  Latin Additional Extended
