[w3c/uievents] Editorial: Capital letter equivalents for bicameral scripts (#123)

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.
