Well. "sz" is just a workaround that everyone will recognize. Nothing to
replace it officially afaik.
Since ß and äöü are on all German keyboard anyway "sz" not used that
much. People who don't like it more often ignore it completely by
replacing most occurrences with "ss". But that's definitely not official.
The german speaking swiss do not have "ß" at all though.
Ask and ye shall be answered :-)
cheers,
