[i18n-activity] Capital letter equivalents for bicameral scripts

r12a has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== Capital letter equivalents for bicameral scripts ==
5.1.1. Key Legends
https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#key-legends

> For historical reasons, the character keys are typically marked with
 the capital-letter equivalents of the character value they produce, 
e.g., the G key (the key marked with the glyph "G"), will produce the 
character value "g" when pressed without an active modifier key (e.g.,
 Shift) or modifier state (e.g., CapsLock).

Editorial: To be more accurate it may be better to say:

For historical reasons, on keyboards for bicameral scripts, the 
character keys are typically marked with the capital-letter 
equivalents...

I don't actually know whether this is true for all such scripts. May 
be worth a quick check. That would include keyboards for languages 
using Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Armenian, Cherokee, Adlam.

(Less common bicameral scripts include Coptic, Warang Citi, Old 
Hungarian, Osage, Glagolitic and Deseret.
