ß? ẞ! |

| Your capital ß shows up as "box" (unknown character) in my browser. The wikipedia page is in German and a bit beyond my reading ability, but they seem to be showing in the side-bar how Gothic s + z gives ß (?). I was told that there is no capital ß because since it is a fusion of two letters, only one would be capitalized (i.e., S+z). This website has a good table: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/RG/guide/German_Gothic99- 36316.ASP Interesting that there used to be a compound letter for t+z as well. |
