Well, the former is an sz-ligature, and the latter is a digraph that is 
not the same as the ligature--and the language is German, which is not 
Asian.
*personal polemic follows*
Germans can save themselves trouble, I believe, if they give up varying 
'ss' with the sz-ligature, and give up the latter in favor of a digraph 
'sz'--but that won't help MySQL because it, and all like software, has 
to support all the already written German saved in it.
