there shouldn’t be an uppercase version of ß because there is no word in the german language that uses it as the first letter. the german language didnt think of allcaps. please correct me if I am wrong. If written in uppercase it should be converted to SZ or the new uppercase ß…. which my iphone doesn’t have… and converting anything to uppercase SS isn’t something germany wants …

Allcaps (and smallcaps) has always existed in signage everywhere. Before the computing age, letters where just arbitrary metal stamps -- and just whatever you could draw before that. Historically, language was not as standardized as it is today.

I don’t think that Germany wants a capital ß or the German language requires one rather technology needs one to dot the eyes and cross the tees.
