> does that help to clarify things in terms of how the locale, utf-8 flag, bytes pragma etc. affect it all?

hmm ... I'm still confused. It seems lc works well while uc wasn't updated yet. Which is counterintuitive.

use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;

use open qw(:std :utf8);

$\="\n";


print "Perlversion $]";
my $SS = "\x{1E9E}";



no locale;
print "=== local off LANG=$ENV{LANG}";

print "* TEST UC";
print "$_ -> ",ord($_)  for "ß", "\Uß", uc("ß");

print "* TEST LC";
print "$_ -> ",ord($_)  for $SS, "\L$SS", lc($SS);



use locale;
print "=== local on LANG=$ENV{LANG}";

print "* TEST UC";
print "$_ -> ",ord($_)  for "ß", "\Uß", uc("ß");

print "* TEST LC";
print "$_ -> ",ord($_)  for $SS, "\L$SS", lc($SS);

Can't do lc("\x{1E9E}") on non-UTF-8 locale; resolved to "\x{1E9E}". a +t d:/tmp/job/eszet.pl line 33.

NB: the warnings happen only when local is used. Which deactivates all conversion here.

Furthermore is ẞ a display problem of the monastery's code blocks, the character prints well inside my emacs.

update

I suppose Perl follows "unicode rules", but those haven't been updated yet to new "German rules" ...
