I apologize but from my point of view, the three are wrongly treating ß
Python leave it as is
Satimage and ASObjC Runner replace it by SS.
This late choice is a sad remembrance of the typewriter era (and it's really not a good idea).
Since 2007/2008, Unicode define the uppercase version of
ß ($DF, LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S)
as :
ẞ ($1E9E, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S)
It seems that it's time for these languages to take care of the official character.
As I know that Emmanuel is visiting this forum, I hope that Satimage will be the first one to deliver an up to date converter.
I already filed such a request to email@hidden
I assume that you, Shane, know better than me which is the address where the same request must be send for ASObjC Runner ;-)
