If we have this character, I think it makes sense to have an uppercase form, turning toUpperCase() into a proper bijective mapping for German :)

Two extreme cases that happened to me: - "I have to get this done today, no matter how long it will take" -> procrastinate the whole day, waste the night to do the stuff in low quality, using "it's late now" as a
