- the transliteration of Indic languages to represent retroflex [ ʂ]
- the transcription of Afro-Asiatic languages (mostly Semitic languages) to represent an " emphatic s" [sˤ] as in Arabic ص ( Ṣād) and as in the Hebrew צ ( Tzadi/Ṣādī) spoken by the Jews of Yemen and North Africa
- the orthography of Yoruba in Nigeria to represent the voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant (the English "sh" sound)
In HTML these are Ṣ: Ṣ and ṣ: ṣ.
