ucfirst does not work on åäö

[vigour]

I want to convert the first character of a string to uppercase and I tried this:

$textfield = ucfirst($textfield);

It works except the Swedish characters åäö and ÅÄÖ. How do I solve this? For example:

The word is öarna. I want it to be Öarna, but I get öarna.

The word is oarna. I want it to be Oarna, and that works.
