What a typographic disaster.
Making an uppercase version of a lowercase ligature was bad idea from the get go.
I suggest to type designers who want to add this symbol to do an SZ or SS ligature.
Caveat: I studied typography in another life.
- pluma 9y agoIt's not a ligature. It's not even a variant anymore. Yes, in orthography it's defined in contrast to "ss" but it is not acceptable to substitute "ss" for "ß" in names. Mesner, Messner, Meßner and Meszner are different names. Typography is not just about making pretty shapes that work nice alongside each other.
