G'day Rolf,

Here's all of the variations that I could think of: 

$ perl -v | head -2 | tail -1
This is perl 5, version 34, subversion 0 (v5.34.0) built for cygwin-th
+read-multi

$ echo $LANG
en_AU.UTF-8

$ alias perlu
alias perlu='perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -Mautodie=:all -Mutf8 -C -E'

[download]
 
$ perlu '
    say "$_ -> ", ord($_) for
        "ß", "\Uß", uc("ß"),
        "ẞ", "\Lẞ", lc("ẞ"),
        "\Fß", fc("ß"),
        "\Fẞ", fc("ẞ");
'
ß -> 223
SS -> 83
SS -> 83
ẞ -> 7838
ß -> 223
ß -> 223
ss -> 115
ss -> 115
ss -> 115
ss -> 115

From "Re^2: uc and German eszett "ß"":

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

When using non-ASCII characters, I replace "code" with "pre" and "c" with "tt". I think the problem is more to do with PM's encoding than a specific code block issue; for example, you'll get the same rendering of entities, rather than characters, in paragraph text. Someone more knowlegeable may have a better (more complete) answer to that.

Update: I removed four instances of ken@titan ~/tmp that preceded each of the commands above. I had originally just done a copy-paste from my screen, but that information is irrelevant clutter.
