Description

The attached MWE fails to compile. The commented out line shows a workaround, but it would be nice if the problem didn't arise!

MWE

Download (184B)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{mfirstuc}

\begin{document}
%\makefirstuc{'Prentice}
\makefirstuc{’Prentice}
\end{document}

Evaluation

This is a documented feature. From the user manual:

Note that non-Latin or accented characters appearing at the start of the text must be placed in a group (even if you are using the inputenc package) due to expansion issues.

Update 2022-10-19: this issue has now been fixed in mfirstuc v2.08 by switching to the new LaTeX3 case-changing command, which is able to handle UTF-8.
