Unicode Version 17.0
Ꟗ
U+A7D6 "Ꟗ" Latin Capital Letter Middle Scots S is a medieval Latin letter used in historical orthography for the Scots language, specifically representing a voiceless sibilant sound that was typically written as "s" or "ȝ" in Middle Scots texts. It was added to the Unicode standard in version 14.0 (September 2021) as part of a collection of characters for medievalist and philological purposes, enabling more accurate digital representation of manuscripts and printed works from that period. This capital form is paired with a lowercase variant, U+A7D7 "ꟗ," and its inclusion helps scholars and typographers correctly encode rare or obsolete letterforms that are essential for studying the linguistic history of Scotland.
