<h3 class="appendixsec">C.4 German Sharp S</h3>
<p>The German Sharp S or Eszett does not have an uppercase equivalent.
Instead when ‘<samp>ß</samp>’ is converted to ‘<samp>SS</samp>’. The conversion of
‘<samp>ß</samp>’ to ‘<samp>SS</samp>’ 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
‘<samp>SS</samp>’ to lowercase is ambiguous; it can be ‘<samp>ss</samp>’ or
‘<samp>ß</samp>’. I do plan on dealing with this eventually.
