As the Stackexchange user explains:
---
The reason why it's absent is because char-fold-table is automatically generated
from the Unicode list of decomposable characters and Unicode believes that ß
does not "decompose" into s + s in the same way that á does decompose into a +
accute accent:
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt
(search for: LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S).
---
So I don't think we want to diverge from Unicode here? So I'm closing
this bug report. If others think this is something we should do, feel
free to reopen the bug report.
