I remember when the debate about adding ẞ was ongoing here on this
list. There were lots of old fonts shown which had a distinct
uppercase ß. I remember that some insisted there was no such letter,
pointing to the pronouncements of the then-current Große Duden, which
said that ß capitalizes to SS, and yet the cover of *that very book*,
in all-capital letters an inch high, clearly showed its title as DER
GROẞE DUDEN.
We can find the discussion in the list archives somewhere. Suffice to
say, ẞ does seem to be a real thing and seems to have been so even
before it was recognized.

Some of us remember those discussions.
And the evidence introduced at the time.
