Oh, sorry, by "typically", i meant "when writing in German", not
"when doing case-conversions in computing".

*nod* A good example of why i think the Eszett might be useful for
testing any proposed equivalence-relation or canonicalisation code
- there are a variety of approaches "in the wild" re. TRT. Take
SRFI 75, for example:
https://www.cs.utah.edu/~mflatt/tmp/srfi-75.html
in the section "String Procedures":
(string<? "z" "ß") => #t (string<? "z" "zz") => #t (string<?
"z" "Z") => #f (string=? "Straße" "Strasse") => #f
(string-upcase "Hi") => "HI" (string-downcase "Hi") => "hi"
(string-foldcase "Hi") => "hi"
(string-upcase "Straße") => "STRASSE" (string-downcase
"Straße") => "straße" (string-foldcase "Straße") => "strasse"
(string-downcase "STRASSE") => "strasse"
