S

S is the nineteenth letter in the basic modern Latin alphabet. Its name in English (pronounced /ˈɛs/) is spelled ess, or usually es- when part of a compound word; the plural is esses.

Semitic Šîn ("teeth") represented a voiceless postalveolar fricative /ʃ/ (as in ship). Greek did not have this sound, so the Greek sigma (Σ) came to represent /s/. In Etruscan and Latin, the /s/ value was maintained, and only in modern languages has the letter been used to represent other sounds.

S represents the voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ in most languages; it also commonly represents the voiced alveolar fricative /z/, as in the Portuguese mesa or the English does. It is often used at the end of an English word to denote the plural, such as in dogs or pages. It may also represent the voiceless postalveolar fricative [ʃ], as in Portuguese, Hungarian, English and German (before p, t).

In Unicode, the capital S is U+0053 and the lower case s is U+0073.

The EBCDIC code for capital S is 226 and the code for lowercase s is 162.
