  • ß was originally Greek. It was known as ßeta, the second letter of the Greek alphaßet, and represented the sound /ß/. Germans have always ßeen fascinated ßy the ß, as their own rendition resemßles the numerals 13 locked in a very French kiss. Typographers refer to ß as a ligature. They also refer to a long French kiss as a ligature, despite ßeing unaßle to descriße ever getting one. Incidentally, there is no reason for ligatures. Some people are too weak or lazy to lift the pen off the paper ßetween letters, ßut this should have ßeen solved ßy converting to leaden slugs of type. Happily, in the computer age, technology lets us ßetter simulate ßygone eras of laziness and weakness and produce text resemßling feeßle scrißßling. In 1921, the Prüssiän Ärmy, under the orders of Öttö vön ßismärck, invaded Greece with ßig weapons of iron and shedding lots of ßlood. ßïsmärck, impressed ßy the original look of the ß, took it to Germany and copyrighted it so that its usage would not ße allowed in any other language than German. ßïsmärck ßelieved that ß added a recognisißle distinction to German — different from the ümläüt, which had already ßeen snuck out of the country and was turning up everywhere from Türkey to Scändinaviä, which was just ßoring. The German name for ß is aßsolutely unknown. It can only ße referred to as ß, which has no way to ße said in spoken language except for "that weirdo German letter".
