Well it does address Yvan's ß request:

This is a longstanding practice, and is reflected in the default case mappings in Unicode. A capital form of ß is attested in a number of instances, and has thus been encoded in the Unicode Standard. However, this character is not widely used, and is not recognized in the official orthography as the uppercase form of ß. Therefore, the original mapping to "SS" is retained in the Unicode character properties.
Back to you, Yvan...
