when the debate about adding ẞ was ongoing here on this list.
There were lots of old fonts shown which had a distinct uppercase
ß. I remember that some insisted there was no such letter,
pointing to the pronouncements of the then-current Große Duden,
which said that ß capitalizes to SS, and yet the cover of *that
very book*, in all-capital letters an inch high, clearly showed
its title as DER GROẞE DUDEN.

We can find the discussion in the list archives somewhere. Suffice
to say, ẞ does seem to be a real thing and seems to have been so
even before it was recognized.
