[Unac-devel] problem encoding ß

[mark warren bracher]

I downloaded the latest unac lib and the Text::Unaccent perl module, and 
it all looks great.

I started throwing as much Spanish/French/German as I remember at it, 
and I've come up with one oddity.  The German S-set (or sz ligature, 
those are the only two names I know it by) ß passes straight through any 
attempt to unaccent.  It should be encoded as

  ß -> ss

in much the same way that the ae ligature

  æ -> ae

is encoded as two characters.  I grepped through UnicodeData-3.2.0.txt a 
bit, but couldn't find a reference to it (at least not with the names 
with which I am familiar)...

Thoughts?  How would I go about patching this?

many thanks...
