Compare the following excerpt from the Aspell manual (appendix C.4):

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.
