Gothic
Etymology
From Latin S. Appears to have been a later Ostrogothic form influenced by Latin scriptoria, partially replacing the earlier "sigmoid" Gothic S (which however was still somewhat rarely used even in Ostrogothic manuscripts, concurrently with the Latin-type S). This sigmoid S resembled and is thought to have derived from Ancient Greek ฮฃ (S). (Some have considered the earlier sigmoid S to be derived from the แ rune instead.)
Letter
๐ โข (s)
- The twentieth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /s/, with a numerical value of 200.
