Why don't they have Asscaps in this wiki/blog/forum?

Iɴᴛᴇʀᴇsᴛɪɴɢ

I assume you just copy and pasted characters into the comment box from another source? I just played 'newspaper ransom note' and used the letters you used and that seems to work fine. The weird symbol you have for an 's' I replaced with the lower case - which is conveniently the same as a small capital.

Edit: Yup. I downloaded BabelPad and can now insert 'ᴋ'. It looks like the unicode section called "Latin Extended-D" (Starting at &#A720) that you used for S and F doesn't display correctly. The &#x1D00 area does.

I got bored of doing that and just put my text through

def sc(x): return unicode(x).translate(dict([(ord('a') + i, c) for i, c in enumerate(u"ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘ-ʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ")]))

I find it odd that Unicode doesn't have a Latin Letter Small Capital Q but does have all the others.

Why oh why does unicode do fonts?

Small capital letters are used in the International Phonetic Alphabet and extensions thereof.
