5. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
German
\j*r'mn\ A human language written (in latin
alphabet) and spoken in Germany, Austria and parts of
Switzerland.
German writing normally uses four non-ASCII characters: "ä", "ö"
and "ü" have "umlauts" (two dots over the top) and "ß" is a
double-S ("scharfes S") which looks like the Greek letter beta
(except in capitalised words where it should be written "SS").
These can be written in ASCII in several ways, the most common are
ae, oe ue AE OE UE ss or sz and the TeX versions "a "o "u "A "O
"U "s.
