Converts the value of a Unicode character to its lowercase equivalent using the casing rules of the invariant culture.

Parameters
- c
Type: System.Char
A Unicode character.
Return Value
Type: System.Char
The lowercase equivalent of the c parameter, or the unchanged value of c, if c is already lowercase or not alphabetic.
