Missing letter help in inscription

[Jay V.]

Hi Guys
Hey i have a real easy question for the ss dagger experts.I was trying to read the inscription on a ss em dagger and I can make all of it out but one letter- its the letter between I and the T in HEI ? T.

Meine Ehre Hei?t Treue=My Honor is Loyalty

Would greatly appreciate if someone can tell me what the missing letter is.Thanks Jay

The letter, "ß", is called an s-zet. It's pronounced as a double s, "heißt" is pronounced heisst.

Thanks>> Looks like a B or 13 Really strange letter.Is there an English version for the letter? Or another way to spell that word in German?or is it allways spelled that way>

Could it be spelled this way and still be correct>>Heist

To be correct is needs to be spelled Meine Ehre Heisst Treue, if you dont have the special ß key.
