There are other ways around without making the standard impossible to get right. Great, we have a standard that can cope with any alphabet... oh pitty that is impossible to write programs that use it correctly.

That is capitalize()
There's a note in the docs [0],
Changed in version 3.8: The first character is now put into titlecase rather than uppercase. This means that characters like digraphs will only have their first letter capitalized, instead of the full character.
EDIT: As the other reply says, ".title()" is probably a better answer to your question. Warning as the docs show [1], this splits things on sequence of letters, not whitespace!
>>> "they're bill's friends from the UK".title()
"They'Re Bill'S Friends From The Uk"
It's tricky, but that's why nearly all of the time, you should use standard libraries. E.g., in Python, ".upper()" and ".capitalize()" does the work for you.
