Created attachment 37687 [details] [review] Patch against nls/en_US.UTF-8/Compose.pre adding LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S With Unicode 5.1, the German letter sharp s (ß) got its capital form accepted into the standard (ẞ). On the free desktop this character is already supported by a number of fonts (Deja Vu Sans and Linux Libertine in particular). Whether or not one uses this letter instead of the conventional double s (SS) when writing a word containing an ß in ALL CAPS or SMALL CAPS is a highly subjective matter best left to the discretion of the user, but adding the character to the compose file is harmless and consistent; not to mention useful and intuitive. In line with its lowercase counterpart and other ligatures (e.g. œ and Œ), I suggest "<Multi_key> <S> <S>" for its sequence. This sequence does not appear to conflict with other sequences.
Closing since James Cloos pushed this to git master for Xlib 1.4: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11/commit/?id=5a02d6d74b5451d48d8f55709dfd4ecd3c068586
