ṡ

ṡ

1. (lexicography, dated) An orthographic ⟨s⟩ with a diacritic that marks it as being the consonant /z/, as in the word "his".

• ẛ

ṡ (upper case Ṡ)

1. The letter s with a ponc séimhithe (dot above), used primarily in Gaelic type; equivalent to the digraph sh in roman type.

Unlike Fraktur or Antiqua/roman type 16th- and 17th-century usage, Gaelic type does not contrast long s (ſ) and round s (s). Whether the lower-case s looks more like ſ or s depends on the specific typeface, not on the position in the word.
