In the official announcement of the Commission in the "Zeitschrift für Deutschlands Buchdrucker" (1903, 9th of Juli), the form of the new Eszett is explained as follows:
"Das sogenannte lange Antiqua-ſ wird oben mit einem z verbunden, im Kopfe eingebogen und läuft im unteren Bogen in eine feine oder halbstarke Linie oder in einen Punkt aus […]" Translation: "The so called long Antiqua-ſ is connected with a z on its top, curved in in the head and ends in the lower curve as a fine or half thick line or a dot […]" As you can see, the "Sulzbacher Form" was explicitely meant to be derived from ſ and z (ezh). -- Expansion: 'ẞ' LATIN CAPTIAL LETTER SHARP S (U+1E9E) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
