TIL that since 2008, there has been a capital letter form of ß in German and that letter ẞ has been a part of Unicode since 5.1.0 (2008).
Now I'm wondering when/how/if i18n libs will start using this.
Currently Elixir, Ruby, and Python convert ß to SS when capitalising text and Perl uses the wrong (lowercase) letter.
elixir --eval '"heiß" |> Sting.upcase() |> IO.puts()'
HEISS
ruby -e 'puts "heiß".upcase'
HEISS
python -c 'print("heiß".upper())'
HEISS
perl -e 'print uc("heiß")'
HEIß
