U+057D "ս" Armenian Small Letter Seh Unicode Character

U+057D "ս" Armenian Small Letter Seh is the lowercase form of the fourteenth letter in the Armenian alphabet, corresponding to the sound /s/ in modern Eastern and Western Armenian. It originates from the classical Armenian letter "Ս" (capital Seh), which was historically derived from the Greek letter Sigma, and is used in writing both Eastern and Western Armenian languages. In Armenian numerals, the capital form "Ս" represents the numeric value 2000, but the lowercase "ս" primarily functions as a standard alphabetic character in words such as "սեր" (love) and "սիրտ" (heart).
