Is ß the same as ß?
In German, the ß character is called eszett. It’s used in “Straße,” the word for street, and in the expletive “Scheiße.” It’s often transliterated as “ss,” and strangely enough, it’s never had an official uppercase counterpart. When writing the uppercase [of ß], write SS. It’s also possible to use the uppercase ẞ.
