German keyboard is missing a letter - Can iOS9.x fix this?

Hello,


I am using a german iPhone 5S, that is running iOS software 8.4.


I am currently waiting for iOS 9 to become available, but I am a bit disappointed in Apple not having added the missing letter in the german alphabet.


For those of you that dont know it, the german Alphabet has 30 letter: The default A-Z, and 4 additional ones: Ää, Öö, Üü & ẞß.


My problem is that Apple forgot to add the rather new~ish capital sharp S character, this one: ẞ.


The lowercase sharp S, this one: ß, has been added, but the capital one is missing.


The capital sharp S exists as of 2008 in Unicode, but historically it has been used from time to time.


I am kind of disappointed that this one is not build-in yet, since the lowercase one & all the Umlauts (ÄÖÜ) are available, but not the capital sharp S.



Does iOS9 fix this? If this is not the case, could iOS 9.0.x or 9.1 fix this?



Greetings, a German

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4, German keyboard
