S̩
S̩ (minuscule: s̩) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from S with the addition of a vertical line below it. It is used in Yoruba to represent the sound [ʃ] (like English "sh").
The line is sometimes replaced by a dot, i.e. Ṣ ṣ.
[s̩] is also the International Phonetic Alphabet symbol for a syllabic "s" sound.
