# lowercaseMapping

The lowercase mapping of the scalar.

```
var lowercaseMapping: String { get }
```

## Discussion

This property is a `String`, not a `Unicode.Scalar` or `Character`,
because some mappings may transform a scalar into multiple scalars or
graphemes. For example, the character “İ” (U+0130 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I
WITH DOT ABOVE) becomes two scalars (U+0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I, U+0307
COMBINING DOT ABOVE) when converted to lowercase.

This property corresponds to the “Lowercase_Mapping” property in the
[Unicode Standard](http://www.unicode.org/versions/latest/).
