Reminds me: I was taught back in school that eszett simply is a ligature of
long s plus long zed, but various Germans I've met have insisted it's either a
lig of long s plus short s, or one of h plus short s. I guess the above gotta
suggest it's long s short s?

In Berlin, the street signs use a version that looks _alot_ like long s long
zed.
