Code points of the letters since Unicode 6.0

Unicode contains the Ꞩ since version 6.0 in the Unicode block Latin, extended-D at the code points U + A7A8 (upper case) and U + A7A9 (lower case).

The long s with an oblique crossbar ( ) is in the Latin Unicode block, and there is another addition at code point U + 1E9C. This must be distinguished from the long S with a high slash at the directly following code point U + 1E9D, which represents a different letter.

The Kildinsamische alphabet of 1933 also used the letter S with a crossbar.
