ë needs to become a letter in German

[-] Enkrod@feddit.de 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

It is! Even if it's very, very rare.

But it does exist, for example in the Name of Bernhard Hoëcker, where it denotes a pronounciation of Ho-ecker instead of Höcker.

Wow, I didn't realize this

there is no need for it… but ß needs to be gone

[-] idiomaddict@feddit.de 28 points 5 months ago

ß is my favorite. All the fun of cursive qs and zs, with significantly more applicability

Now that we've got ẞ I'm fine with keeping ß

[-] Magnetar@feddit.de 21 points 5 months ago

Are you Swiss or something? ẞ is be best letter.

[-] wieson@feddit.de 10 points 5 months ago

Die you know, that ß is more frequently used than x, y, q and even j?

The 'eu' in deutsche is an umlauted e.
