Answer 1

Retina, 73 bytes

T`a-z`ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘǫʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ

This is exactly what Retina's transliterate mode was made for. It replaces all lowercase letters (a-z) with their corresponding small caps version. Annoyingly, the character codes of the small caps characters are all over the place, so it can't take advantage of ranges for the second part: ideally it would be T`a-z`ᴀ-ᴢ.

Answer 2

Pyth, 61 59 58 bytes

LXbGsmC+*7389<dGCd"#ʙ'(*ꜰɢʜɪ-.ʟ0ɴ2;ǫʀꜱ>?CDxʏE

This defines a named function y. Try it online in the Pyth Compiler/Executor.

The code contains no unprintable characters.

Idea

Among the small caps, there are 14 characters in the range 7424 – 7458, and all of them require three bytes to be stored verbatim. By subtracting 7389 from their code points, we map them in the printable ASCII range 35 – 69, so each of them will occupy only one byte.

To decode the string, we simply add 7389 to the code points of all characters that come before a.

Code

L                       Define y(b):
 Xb                       Transliterate b...
   G                      by replacing the lowercase ASCII letters...
                          with the characters of result of the following:
     m            "…          Map; for each d in that string:
        *7389<dG              Calculate (7389 * (d < 'abc...xyz')).
       +        Cd            Add the product to int(d).
      C                       Cast to character.
    s                       Turn the resulting char array into a string.

Answer 3

CJam, 78 74 67 66 63 bytes

q'{,97>"#ʙ'(*ꜰɢʜɪ-.ʟ0ɴ2;ǫʀꜱ>?CDxʏE"{_'a<7389*+}%er

This uses the same idea as my other answer.

The code contains no unprintable characters. Try it online in the CJam interpreter.

How it works

q       e# Read all input and push it on the stack.
'{,     e# Push the range of all characters up to 'z'.
97>     e# Remove the first 97 characters. This leaves lowercase letters.

"#ʙ'(*ꜰɢʜɪ-.ʟ0ɴ2;ǫʀꜱ>?CDxʏE"

{       e# Map; for each character in that string:
  _'a<  e#   Check if a copy of the character is lower than 'F'. Pushes 1 or 0.
  7389* e#   Multiply the resulting Boolean by 7389.
  +     e#   Add the product to the character's code point.
}%      e#
er      e# Perform transliteration; replace each letter in the input by the
        e# corresponding character of the modified string.

I'll try to think of a way to remove that entire alphabet from my code later.

I haven't been able to test it with newlines, but I see no reason for it not working with them.

Julia, 126 bytes

t->join([(i=Int(c);96<i<123?split("ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘǫʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ","")[i-96]:c)for c=t])

Ungolfed:

function f(t::AbstractString)
    # Split the small caps into an array (this particular Unicode
    # string does not like to be indexed for whatever reason)
    s = split("ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘǫʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ", "")

    # Create an array with replaced letters
    r = [(i = Int(c); 96 < i < 123 ? s[i-96] : c) for c in t]

    # Join the array back into a string
    join(r)
end

Perl 5, 84 bytes

(83 bytes script and -p)

use utf8;y/a-z/ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘǫʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ/

Nothing particularly different, but it's worth noting the necessity of the use utf8; statement to get legible text. A warning is displayed as well, but I believe the consensus is that they are acceptable:

$perl -p smallcaps.pl <<< 'Programming Puzzles and Code Golf' 
Wide character in print, <> line 1.

Java, 306 275 217 215 189 bytes

Well, Java is definetely not the best language to accomplish this task in... but, here it is anyway:

void p(String s){for(int i=1;i<27;s=s.replace("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".charAt(++i),"ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘǫʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ".charAt(i)));System.out.print(s);

This is the code.

Answer 13

Perl 6, 78 bytes

The simplest command line version:

$ perl6 -pe'tr/a..z/ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘǫʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ/' # 76 + 2 = 78

It gets a bit larger if you put it into a file.

$_=$*IN.slurp-rest;tr/a..z/ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘǫʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ/;.print # 102

Answer 14

Julia, 105 bytes

t->map(c->96<c<123?["ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘǫʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ"...][c-'`']:c,t)

This is simple - for each character in t, it checks to see if the character, c, is lowercase (96<c<123) - if it is, it subtracts the character with value 96 ('`') from the character, and looks up the corresponding character in the array [ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘǫʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ"...]. If it's not lowercase, then just use c itself. The map function applies this procedure for each character in the string.

Alternative, if we can restrict input to ASCII less than 127:

Julia, 104 bytes

t->join(['\1':'`';"ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘǫʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ{|}~"...][t.data])

In this case, the array is longer, including all characters between ASCII 1 ('\1') and 126 ('~'), with the lowercase letters replaced as appropriate - it then uses the characters in t, expressed as unsigned integers (t.data), to lookup the values in the array, and joins the new characters back into a string at the end.

Answer 15

Scala, 125 bytes

(s:String)=>s.map(c=>('a'to'z'zip "ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘǫʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ"toMap).getOrElse(c,c))

An anonymous function that has string as an input and output. Iterate through its chars and get the unicode version of them by matching them from dict/map. Return original char if the unicode one doesn't exist.

Usage

1. Open Scala REPL and paste the code above
2. It will create a function (resX) that can be called by passing a string (e.g. resX("my String"))
