Capitalizing eszett on keyboard: how to do it
The German language has some special characters, among them the eszett, often called "sharp S". Capitalizing this letter is possible on the keyboard, but not entirely obvious.
Normally, capital letters are triggered by pressing "Shift" / "Shift". However, the eszett is an exception, since "Shift" + "ß" produces a question mark in the standard keyboard layout.This is how the capital eszett succeeds on the keyboard
Consequently, a special combination is needed:- Press "Shift" + "Alt Gr" + "ß" at the same time.
- As a result, a capital eszett appears. Here is the comparison of small and large: ß / ẞ. The large eszett is slightly lower in height, but has a little more width.
