Try this example:

System.out.println("beißen".equalsIgnoreCase("BEISSEN"));
System.out.println("beißen".toUpperCase().equals("BEISSEN"));

method should ignore case, but not spelling. It shouldn't consider ... "beißen" equal to "beissen" either. Why? Because those pairs differ by spelling and not just capitalization!

That is how equalsIgnoreCase() works:

"beißen".equalsIgnoreCase("BEISSEN"): false
