title: How can I prevent the browser from changing ß to ss?
body: <p>I am trying to have the following german character to display correctly: ß</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, it displays as 'ss'. I have tried following some of the directions I found at: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/423693/how-can-i-properly-display-german-characters-in-html">How can I properly display German characters in HTML?</a> with no success.</p>
  
  <p>I tried setting the meta tag to <code>&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;</code> and also to <code>&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/&gt;</code> which didn't change anything. According to the notes on that page, utf-8 can handle any kind of non-ASCII characters at the same time.</p>
  
  <p>The strange thing is that other German characters such as the ü and ö character display fine, so it is specific to the ß character, and instead of actually displaying the ß, it appears as ss.</p>
  
  <p>How can I prevent the browser from changing ß to ss and instead actually have it display ß?</p>

  <p>EDIT: I had a text-transform:uppercase on the line that was displaying the 'ss' instead of 'ß'. Once I removed that, it worked great!</p>
