I know of the (persistent) problem with SS etc. The first thing that you
must do in order to solve it, is to check the encoding files: how are those
glyphs named! If we can agree on the names, then mapping is more easy. This
is why named glyphs were introduced, to ease the communication, since i
lost track of all the numbers and symbols not showing up in my mailer -)

Oh, it's not a problem with SS on the forehand.  The main problem is, that 
every character that is mapped to a command from the input regime, can not 
be inserted into a hyphenation exception!

So if the internal form of all characters outside the 7-bit ASCII range is 
represented as a name, is it possible to include this characters into a 
hyphenation exception?

I will test myself the next days.

there are 8 bit patterns, otherwise, we can define a hyphenation mapper,
which just maps \SS to ss and alike .
