In German a ß
should be replaced by ss
. See http://www.duden.de/sprachwissen/rechtschreibregeln/doppel-s-und-scharfes-s
Regel 160:
- Fehlt das ß auf der Tastatur eines Computers oder einer Schreibmaschine, schreibt man dafür ss. In der Schweiz kann das ß generell durch ss ersetzt werden <§ 25 E2>.
Rule 160:
- In case the ß is missing on the keyboard, ss can be used instead. In Switzerland ß can be replaced by ss in general.
I'm a native German speaker and I can confirm that Fußball
and Weißbier
should become Fussball
and Weissbier
.

Thanks, really appreciate it. Is there a capital version? For example a character that transforms into "SS" ?

Does this one translate into "SS"? http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1e9e/index.htm

Nope, there's no capital version of ß
in German. In case someone upper cases Fußball
the rule is to turn it into "SS" resulting in FUSSBALL
. FUßBALL
does not exist.
