S-comma

Translation
S-comma

S-comma (latinx|majuscule: Ș, minuscule: ș) is a letter which is part of the Romanian alphabet, used to represent the Romanian language sound IPA|/ʃ/, the voiceless postalveolar fricative (like "sh" in "shoe").

This letter however was not part of the early Unicode versions, which is why Ş (S-cedilla) is often used in digital texts in Romanian. S-comma was introduced only in Unicode 3.0 at the request of the Romanian national standardization body, but most computers today still do not have fonts compatible with it (computers with Microsoft operating systems older than Windows XP do not have compatible fonts). That is why almost all Romanian texts still use S-cedilla (or even S), despite the recommendation to migrate from cedilla to comma.

The letter was proposed in the "Buda Lexicon", a book published in 1825, which included two texts by Petru Maior, "Orthographia romana sive latino-valachica una cum clavi" and "Dialogu pentru inceputul linbei române", introducing ș for /ʃ/ and ț for /ts/.

(Apr., 1982), pp. 75-85.]
