左半円の下に右半円を重ねた形である。これはΣ(シグマ)の古い形()に由来し、Σ(シグマ)の小文字語末形 ς と共通の形である。大文字も小文字も同じ形である。
この文字が表す音素は、/s/(無声歯茎摩擦音)ないしその類似音である。ただし、西欧の多くの言語で、母音・有声子音に挟まれた単独のsを有声の/z/で読む。この場合、母音・有声子音に挟まれた無声の/s/を表すにはしばしばssと書く。

Etruscan S | Greek Sigma |
---|---|---|
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.
The minuscule form of s was ſ, called the long s, up to the fifteenth century or so, and the form 'S' was used then only as upper case in the same manner that the forms 'G' and 'A' are only upper case. With the introduction of printing the modern form s began to be used at the end of words by some printers. Later, it was used everywhere in print and eventually spread to manuscript letters as well. For example, "sinfulness" would be rendered as "ſinfulneſſ" in all medieval hands, and later it was "ſinfulneſs" in some blackletter hands and in print. The modern usage "sinfulness" did not become widespread in print until the beginning of the 19th century, largely to prevent confusion of 'ſ' with the lower case f in typefaces which had a very short horizontal stroke in their lowercase 'f'. The ligature of ſs (or ſz) became the German ess-tsett, ß.
The letter S represents the voiceless alveolar sibilant /s/ in most languages and the IPA. It also commonly represents the voiced alveolar fricative /z/, as in Portuguese mesa or English rose and bands, or may represent the voiceless palato-alveolar fricative [ʃ], as in most Portuguese dialects when syllable-finally, in Hungarian, in German (before ⟨p⟩, ⟨t⟩) and some English words as sugar since yod-coalescence became a dominant feature, and [ʒ], as in English measure (also because of yod-coalescence), European Portuguese Islão or, in many sociolects of Brazilian Portuguese, esdrúxulo, while in some Andalusian dialects, it is merged with Peninsular Spanish ⟨c⟩ and ⟨z⟩ and pronounced [θ].
The letter S is the seventh most common letter in English and the third-most common consonant (after t and n). In English and many other languages, primarily European ones, final ⟨s⟩ is the usual mark of plural nouns. It also usually indicates English third person present tense verbs.
