Hmm, I'm not sure about this in encoding-land, but as a linguist - I
know that there are (graphically distinct) characters esstset (ß) - used
in German for "ss" and beta (β) used in Modern Greek for the sound
"v". They look quite similar to each other.
It is fairly legitimate in German orthography to write a esstset as a ss
- these are entirely equivalent - so maybe some intelligent encoding
does that for you...
