It is not one singular example. Speakers of German have used that letter occasionally for the last 120 years or so and there was a debate to introduce it the whole time.

Well, one is the first picture in the featured article (it is from 1910). I collected some more here: http://imgur.com/a/NaFgA

And any German passport (at least those issued after 1988, don't know about what was used before).
