ucfirst

Uppercases the first character of a string.

Returns a copy of STRING with the first character converted to uppercase and all other characters left unchanged. For ASCII first characters, a single-byte in-place mutation is used. For Unicode first characters, to_uppercase() may produce multiple characters (e.g. the ffi ligature U+FB03).

Returns an empty string when given an empty string.

Synopsis
