Hence, the automatic translation of ß to ss may result in looking up the wrong domain name, allowing for spoofing attacks. (DENIC will run a sunrise period (2010-10-26 to 2010-11-15) during which holders of domains with ss will be allowed top register the respective ß domain in advance.) http://www.denic.de/en/domains/internationalized-domain-names/sharp-s.html ß and ss are not exchangable in German. ss instead of ß is just a makeshift. Germans expect ß to usually just work if umlauts work (which already do for a while). Regards Michael 1959683 1 ahmad.saleem792 2023-06-03 05:02:35 -0700 Sure, it would have been done. 1959691 2 annevk 2023-06-03 05:51:45 -0700 Yeah, this has been fixed for a while. There will likely be some further tweaks around Bidi, but that shouldn't impact .de NIC and is best tracked in a new bug once Unicode makes the relevant changes in UTS46 and the URL Standard adopts them.
