I meant the character itself (the way it is drawn) is a combination of long s and regular s. But, you’re right.

Also, the Wikipedia page says a capital ß is actually occasionally used. You learn something every day, I guess.

But the second part of the ß is a z. It’s a z written in cursive.

    I love that this is like that evolution of man painting, but showing how script evolved over the years.
