Some international languages don’t have an uppercase/lowercase distinction. We could offer an additional convention like the following:
Starting the Rem with * for a Concept
Starting the Rem with a ^ for a descriptor
Surely the safest option would be to add a toggle to allow any symbol to start anything, and let the bold and italics distinguish concepts and descriptors? Or at least let the user override it manually without decapitalising the word? Some people may prefer to have everything start in lower/upper case, even if it takes extra keystrokes to manage what type of card is created.

Don‘t use ^ though due to the issues that are caused by it (https://github.com/remnoteio/remnote-issues/issues/135)
Hi all:
I just noticed that Descriptor need to be started by lower case letters.
However, other language like Chinese has no lower case letters…
I hope you can support other way to identify a Descriptor.
Let me give you an example.
cat :: is a domestic species of small carnivorous mammal.
貓 :: 是小型食肉哺乳動物的家養物種。
This Chinese word: 貓 has no “lower case letters”.
So there is no way to make a Descriptor in Chinese language.
I think other language like Japanese language may have the same issue.

Just FYI. Lower case descriptor is just a recommendation. You can manually change anything to a descriptor by selecting that rem and changing the rem type at the bottom toolbar. The shortcut for that is Ctrl + Alt + D
