# lowercased()

Returns a lowercased version of this character.

## Declaration

```swift
func lowercased() -> String
```

## Discussion

Discussion Because case conversion can result in multiple characters, the result of lowercased() is a string. let chars: [Character] = ["E", "É", "И", "Π", "1"] for ch in chars {     print(ch, "-->", ch.lowercased()) } // Prints: // E --> e // É --> é // И --> и // Π --> π // 1 --> 1
