Support for German capitalized Eszett
See original GitHub issueHi,
the German eszett ß
recently got a capitzlied version: ẞ
which is currently not supported in Roboto, so when you have the text: “Maßlech” and use for example CSS to make this upper case via text-transform: uppercase
, the result is: MASSBLECH
.
Any idea if ẞ
will be supported in the near future?

@tzfrs two things:
Google Fonts subsets fonts, so you might have to select a different subset to view the characters you want:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto&subset=latin-ext" rel="stylesheet">
may containẞ
. Alternatively you can use the full font that is in this repository.text-transform: uppercase
changesß
into twoS
regardless of the font. Since the uppercaseẞ
is recent, text-transform behave as it use to before that character was encoded or before it’s use became official in German.@davelab6 Which Google Fonts subset contains
ẞ
?@fitojb closed it.
