ð (eth) and Ð (Eth) glyphs not recognised as the same character

The glyphs ð (eth) and Ð (Eth) are lower and upper case of the Icelandic character eth. Illustrator has no problems working with them, except when you need to change the case, whether you do that by Type->Change Case or by changing the character attribute to All caps (or small caps for that matter).

This is a recurring bug in Illustrator, which has been fixed at least twice before, but somehow creeps in a few versions later. I suspect some legacy code in the internal text engine, which does not reflect the relationship between the two characters.

I’m including a package which shows the problem.

I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 24.0.2 which is available worldwide now.

Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

    There are many things that Illustrator can do but not this one. So step up your game and fix it!

    Fixing this would be timesave-ing and awesome.

    This should be en easy fix since this is not an issue in InDesign.

    A seriously annoying problem. Please fix.

    This is an especially annoying issue, that should be easy to fix, - again, since it had already been fixed a few versions back.
