The German "double S", I see ... Let me help you out of this.

The letter ß, named SZ, Eszett, sharp S, hunchback S, backpack
S, Dreierles-S, curly S or double S in Swiss, becomes SS in
upper case since 1967, because it is never used as the start
of a word and thus doesn't have an upper case representation
of its own. Before, from 1926 on, the translation was to SZ.
So a very old Unicode library might give you incorrect results.

The uppercase letter I on the other hand depends on the locale.
E.g. in England the lower case version is i, whereas in Turkey
it is ı, because they also have a dotted İ, which becomes i.
