Language-Related-Issues.html#Language-Related-IssuesLanguage Related Issues C.4 German Sharp S
The German Sharp S or Eszett does not have an uppercase equivalent. 
Instead when `
ß' is converted to `SS'.  The conversion of
`
ß' to `SS' requires a special rule, and increases the
length of a word, thus disallowing inplace case conversion. 
Furthermore, my general rule of converting all words to lowercase before
looking them up in the dictionary won't work because the conversion of
`
SS' to lowercase is ambiguous; it can be `ss' or
`
ß'.  I do plan on dealing with this eventually.
