Proposal for the introduction of the term 'symbolic letter'

Because the Dutch language contains the letter <ij> as a double character
element and its uppercase representation is <IJ>, there is a need for the
LC_TYPE character class for proper capitalization of multicharacter
elements.

Proposed is to introduce the notion 'symbolic letter' for a string of
letters so that such strings can be manipulated in different functions as a
single character element.
