iPad 14.0 - issues with (writing) language of pencil

Hi there,

So I have been trying out scribble on the iPad and I was wondering if there is any way to change the language of the pen? My keyboard layout is in German but when I use scribble it won‘t recognise (German) characters like ß, ä, etc. Neither will it recognise §. Any ideas on how to make it work? And does the pen ‘learn’ your handwriting? ß keeps being changed to B, but it wont recognise my captial B and instead changes it to a lower case b...

Thanks!

iPad, iPadOS 13

At present, German isn’t included in initial language support for Scribble.

This statement taken directly from the Developer notes:

Scribble will initially offer support for English, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and mixed Chinese and English, so users can write English and Chinese words together without needing to switch languages.
