( new mw.Title('ß') ).getPrefixedText() does not round-trip in some browsers. This could render the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ß inaccessible by some JavaScript tools. (See also T141723.)
The correct result is 'ß', incorrect results are 'SS' or 'ẞ'. Chromium 54 gives me 'SS', Firefox and Edge are OK.

| Add exceptions in mw.Title where mb_strtoupper doesn't match String.toUpperCase | mediawiki/core | master | +270 -3 |
In particular, it seems to be impossible to link to the article using VisualEditor's link inspector. I am therefore making this the VE team's problem :)
The problem is that we use toUpperCase to normalise titles. 'ß'.toUpperCase is 'SS' in Chrome.
Comparing the length only works if the length changes. The article on 'ß' says it is unique in not having a capitalisation, we should really write a script to compare the output of mb_strtoupper and toUpperCase and come up with a mapping for any other cases that fail, but this may the only sensible case that fails.
