Having both hello.txt and Hello.txt is bad design in the first place no matter how you view it.

"bad design" - It is not design just result of Unicode rules.

Mind you:

naïve.txt

naïve.txt

can both exist, because:

ï vs ï

0xC3AF vs 0x69CC88

is not same.

Linux does sane (secure) thing - does not care. If bytes are different - name is different.

Windows and mac don't solve this anyway.

Having only one of Α.txt, A.txt, a.txt is not, and was not, а option.
