If I apply the uppercase text transform to "Einſtein", I get "EINſTEIN", not
"EINSTEIN". Why is that? This result is at odds with the Unicode standard.

Hi,

And your Tools>Internet Options, General tab, Fonts button, Web page fonts
selection is?

Also check if you have "Ignore font styles specified on web pages" checked
on the Accessibility dialog of Internet options.

Regards.

Times New Roman. Why does it matter? The browser displays "Einſtein",
"EINſTEIN", and "EINSTEIN" all right.

I do not have it checked; so what? It is my page and I did not declare any
font styles there and, answering your next question, I am not using a custom
stylesheet.
All in all, it does not seem to be a font-related problem.

"Einſtein" looks to me like it contains one of the German "s" symbols.
Unfortunately, I don't think it will work properly here; I can't find the
proper encoding.

The proper encoding is one of "Einſtein" or "Einſtein" (in case the Web
poster screws up the first one).
