I've been looking into text-transform in CSS, and Firefox shows "SS" when
using text-transform values of "uppercase" and "capitalize". For the
microsoft browser, it's mentioned, evidently as a bug
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff405742(v=vs.85).aspx).

Not being a German speaker, I've only been going by what I've read, which
gives me the impression that it generally becomes "SS". And an upper case
character that is used occasionally on signs got a Unicode code point not
too long ago.

*digs that up*
http://unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/#Tailored_Casing_Operations

'In particular, capital sharp s is intended for typographical
representations of signage and uppercase titles, and other environments
where users require the sharp s to be preserved in uppercase. Overall,
such usage is rare. In contrast, standard German orthography uses the
string "SS" as uppercase mapping for small sharp s. Thus, with the default
Unicode casing operations, capital sharp s will lowercase to small sharp s,
but not the reverse: small sharp s uppercases to "SS". In those instances
where the reverse casing operation is needed, a tailored operation would
be required.'
