The sharp s is a character, NOT A LIGATURE! A ligature is a typographical refinement to improve the appearance of two letters appearing next to each other. The most important aspect of a ligature is that it doesn't change the meaning of words.
Yes, the sharp s WAS a ligature once. But w was once a ligature too. Should we therefore decide to remove W and write VV again instead? If people could just stop repeating the same non-sense over and over again and actually start checking the facts? The upper-case substitution of ß with SS was _never_ meant to be a permanent solution, it was something we call a "workaround" today, because it is exactly that. PS: Could we just leave out that ß-hating here? It has nothing to do with that particular topic here? -- Expansion: 'ẞ' LATIN CAPTIAL LETTER SHARP S (U+1E9E) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
