U+1E67 "ṧ" Latin Small Letter S with Caron and Dot Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ṧ
U+1E67 "ṧ" Latin Small Letter S with Caron and Dot Above is a specialized letter used primarily in the transliteration and transcription of certain South Asian languages, such as Sanskrit or other Indic scripts, where it represents a retroflex sibilant sound that requires both a caron (a diacritical mark denoting softening or palatalization) and a dot above (often indicating retroflexion or emphasis). This combined diacritic form is part of the Latin Extended Additional block, allowing scholars to accurately convey phonetic distinctions that are not present in standard Latin letters. Despite its niche usage, the character is essential for precise linguistic documentation and digital representation of ancient texts.
