This bug also concerns formatting as 'small caps' (Kapitälchen) - if a proper
name containing U+00DF ('ß' 'sharp s' 'Eszett') is formatted to small caps, the
display of the 'Eszett' changes to double-S, while copy-and-paste shows that
the character in the file is still 'Eszett'. For some proper names this will
visibly falsify the spelling. (Which *is* an issue.) Simply downsizing an upper
case 'Eszett' ẞ (U+1E9E) rather breaks the layout than being a solution. --

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fes_%C3%9F (Großes_ß) mentions that
according the standard DIN 5008, updated 2020, upper case 'Eszett' is now
preferred over 'SS' or 'SZ'. "Gemäß der 2020 erschienenen Fassung der DIN 5008
„Schreib- und Gestaltungsregeln für die Text- und Informationsverarbeitung“
gilt: „Bei der Verwendung von Großbuchstaben ist das große ẞ der Auflösung in
SS bzw. SZ vorzuziehen“.[15] -- [15] https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_5008 DIN
5008:2020-03, Abschnitt 13 „Hervorhebungen“, Fußnote 5 -- So now there is a
reason to fix it.
