For the record: ẞ (U+1E9E) is not mapped as ß’s majuscule because Unicode’s (really MS’s) idea of stable is »no bug fixes« and a preference for SS by some, not because of lack of use. The legacy of using SS as ß’s majuscule continues in most contexts, but from what I hear, ẞ is gaining ground. Especially in text which is set without miniscules, such as street and commercial signage. Even without a global ß→ẞ mapping, it might be true that such a mapping already might be preferred for de_AT text. (The earliest sightings of ẞ which were mentioned on unicode@ were, IIRC, in Austria.) -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
