The TeX EC fonts (Cork or T1 encoding) indeed have an upper
case ligature "SS" that is ONE letter.

I'm not very lucky about that for the reasons mentioned in
the Wikipedia article.

In UTF-8 encoding, ~ over an ß in Vim doesn't change it, which IMHO is 
an error.


In a Swiss locale (including Liechtenstein), the eszet "ß" is not used. 
I don't know if this is related to what you're saying about latin1 vs. 
latin2.


In other German-language locales:

- ss may be used instead of ß if the latter is unavailable, e.g., on a 
typewriter with no ß glyph

- the uppercase form of ß is SS
- the lowercase form of SS is ß after a long vowel, ss otherwise 
according to the latest -- and still controversial -- reform of German 
orthography, which is supposed to be official since 1 August 1998 and 
mandatory starting 1 August 2006. I've heard that many German speakers 
and German-language publishers still cling to the "older" spelling 
(established ca. 1901).


IIUC, the uppercase form of ß was SZ before that "older" reform; hence 
the name "eszet". In Fraktur or black-letter fonts, the ß glyph is a 
ligature consisting of a long s and a z, instead of long s + short s as 
in Roman fonts. (The "long s" looks like an f without the horizontal bar.)



Best regards,
Tony.

I was thought that capital version of ß is SS...

Logically it's much easier to use STRAßE, because the length doesn't

strasse...

:-) Maß (measure) vs. Masse (mass).

Some say the reason why the Swiss don't use the eszet anymore (except, 
maybe, in archaic or pseudo-archaic lettering) is that they have no room 
for it on the QWERTZ keyboards of their Franco-Italo-German typewriters. 
I don't know if it is true.

Change encoding? In latin2 (where ß also exists) it is not
changed into SS but IMO this is bug.

Bug with gU and German sharp s?

Hi,

can anybody confirm this misbehaviour in VIM 7.0:

It seems that after converting the sharp s to 'SS' VIM does not account
for the now longer word and selection and leaves one character in lower
