make scratch recognize the difference between capital letters and lowercase letters

Hello!
One time I was playing around on scratch and I made this block:
A=a

I clicked the block, and its output was “true”

I would just like to suggest that scratch blocks should recognize the difference between capital letters and lowercase letters.

thanks,

There are uses for not being case-sensitive, so I won't say remove.

However, the block:
casesensitive=
is a better option.

If we're talking about a case sensitive equals, this would be a duplicate.

Yeah, and changing the ‘=’ block to see letter case would break too many project.

Blue does it like that. A drawback is

containsthing?

and

containsthing? a block that may be in Scratch 3.0

still won't see letter case. My suggestion in this thread could help with that.

sensecase

(The unicode number of a letter could also be used to suss out letter case.)
