ß

Latin small letter sharp s

The German eszett, historically a long-s ligature: Straße, Fußball, groß. Swiss German abolished it (Strasse), and the 1996 spelling reform regularized rather than removed it. A capital form ẞ (U+1E9E) was encoded in 2008 and officially permitted since 2017; traditional all-caps style substitutes SS. Mac: Option+S.
