> Upcasing ß to ß never really makes sense. Words containing ß are written with SS in upper case: groß -> GROSS - which is one reason why the character-to-character use of Fupcase normally cannot be used for text containing the letter. The capital ß, ?ẞ, is still not widely employed but one of its purposes is when it is important to preserve the exact spelling of proper names when written in all caps: Gauß -> GAUẞ, not GAUSS. (I wouldn't be surprised if this will eventually become the general convention for all text, but we are getting ahead of society here.)
Wouldn't it be confusing that upcase treats ?ß and "ß" differently?
