Jan 21	comment	Can a “ß” be written as “ss” Downvote retracted. I disagree about the reason you gave for why it is common to use SS instead of ẞ. The hindrances to ẞ becoming more widespread are: (1) lack of ẞ on current keyboards; (2) lack of ẞ glyph in many fonts; (3) lack of stencils in signpainting shops; (4) in-house rules; (5) inertia. The non-committal attitude of the Orthography Council is not a hindrance. However, this is a matter of opinion and does not merit my maintaining the downvote.
Jan 21	comment	Can a “ß” be written as “ss” You wrongly claimed that there is no capital ß. Kindly accept my correction that ẞ (<-- capital ß in Arial) does exist. Read past the lead of the Wiki article to find that ẞ is solidly part of Unicode. And that the managing director of the German Orthography Council has no objections to people using ẞ, but is waiting for usage to become more widespread before the Council officially acknowledges this in their rules. ẞ also has a long (if contentious) tradition in German typography. Finally I don't care how many downvotes this answer of mine (which references the selfsame Wiki article) gets.
