ISIN body accepts lowercase letters · case 03

A lowercase body produces a check-digit verdict instead of being rejected.

Member previewVariant 3 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Input a 12-character ISIN: two uppercase ASCII letters (country), nine uppercase alphanumerics, one check digit; anything else is "malformed". Letters expand to two digits (A=10 .. Z=35), then Luhn doubling starts at the rightmost digit of the expanded 11-character payload. Return [computed check digit, whether it matches].

Why this case matters

Securities settlement systems reject ISINs whose check digit does not match before routing trades.
