I really like this letter a lot, I think it’s so pretty looking :) . Be careful not to confuse it with a “B” though - I know they look very similar.
Some facts about “ß”:
- “ß” doesn’t have a capital letter form
- “ß” is pronounced [s]
- “ß” represents the double consonant “ss”
Orthographic rules:
- “ß” is used after long vowels (e.g. süß, Fuß etc.)
- “ß” is used after diphthongs (e.g. fließen, beißen etc.)
How to type it:
- on Microsoft Alt+225; Alt+0223
- on Mac Option+s
