I believe the form Adolfo has suggested is not adequate to the Ubuntu
font. There are several designs of the letter ß. There are two common
designs of the letter ß in modern fonts. A design that looks similar to
an ſ+s ligature and a design that looks similar to a Greek β, that is to
say, numbers 2 and 4 in the following picture:

The Ubuntu font uses the ‘ſ+s ligature design’ (number 2) for LATIN
SMALL LETTER SHARP S, but Adolfo has used the ‘β design’ (number 4) for
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S. I think that is no good. Both letters of
the casing pair should use the same design. Using two different designs
for them is as inadequate as, for example, using a serif design for
LATIN SMALL LETTER X but a sans-serif design for LATIN CAPITAL LETTER X.
They just don't match.
