These aren't quite right. ...the "ß" from German is generally called a "sharp s" in English speaking circles.

Nein... it's properly called an "esset" in English.

Yes, it's called by both names in my old University German text, but the two German profs I had, both of whom were German born, raised, and educated, always referred to it as a sharp s when speaking about it, and only an esset when spelling a word in which it appeared.
