I was just thinking about the idea of having three alphabets: Latin, Greek and Cyrillic... 0x00 - 0x7F for Latin, 0xC1 - 0xD9 for Greek uppercase, 0xE0 - 0xFF for Cyrillic uppercase.

Both Greek and Cyrillic would be uppercase only and would be goofy to enter:
- Select greek keyboard layout and type with capslock on
- Select russian keyboard layout and type in all lowercase (which would look like caps)

...of course I have no use for this and I'd be surprised if anyone else wanted something like that, but it seems possible.

People with large Russo-Anglo-Greek music collections should probably be instead looking forward to 3.0 versions of the car-player, where everything is in UTF-8.

The player assumes NFC. Normalisation to NFC is Emplode's job.

Normalisation to NFC is Emplode's job.

...which it doesn't currently do. It's on the list of things to fix.
