ß is U00D7 or Alt+0223 . See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F 150810
- though known as "Latin Small Letter Sharp S", because of its shape which looks alike "Cap B", I have tentatively chosen it to represent Mon-Myan {ßa.} and {ßé}.

Entry {ßa.}

UKT 140605: There are two aksharas on either side of {a.} in row#7 of the Mon-Myan matrix. Both NMT and Dr.M.TinMon (in {mwun-mrun-ma-sa-pé-paung:ku:} "Mon-Myanar Letter Bridge", Yangon, 2006, p042) agree that the consonants of row#7 have the sounds /ba/ and /be/. I also concur with them after listening repeatedly to Mon-Myan speech. In the above links, I have indicated them as {b⁷a.} and {b⁷e.}, but in the bookmarks the superscript-7 becomes ordinary-7.

We should compare {b⁷a.} of Mon-Myan to a corresponding akshara in Skt-Dev.

Skt-Dev:    व «va» + diagonal  -->  ब «ba»
Mon-Myan: {wa.} + small circle --> {b⁷a.} 

Mon-Myan: {b⁷e.} is the just the counterpart of  {b⁷a.}

It shows that Myanmar akshara was first used by Pal-Myan which I contend was Magadhi the mother tongue of Gautama Buddha. It further shows that Bur-Myan is not derived from Mon-Myan.
