Ș S with accent

Copy as

Meaning & usage

S with accent (Ș) is a Latin letter with a distinctive spelling or diacritic.

Use the correct letter for its language rather than replacing it with a visually similar character.

U+0218 identifies this exact S with accent form; copying the character preserves its Unicode identity, while its appearance depends on the font or emoji renderer.

S with accent occupies one Unicode code point. A similar-looking letter, punctuation mark or emoji is not necessarily interchangeable with Ș in search, filenames or text processing.

How to type S with accent

Windows

Use Win + . for the emoji and symbol panel, or Character Map for supported fonts. In Microsoft Word, enter each hexadecimal code (218) and press Alt + X. There is no universal decimal Alt code for this character; legacy Alt codes depend on the code page.

Mac

Open Character Viewer with Control + Command + Space and search for S with accent. With the Unicode Hex Input keyboard enabled, hold Option and enter the UTF-16 units shown above. Standard Option shortcuts do not cover every Unicode symbol.

Linux

In compatible GTK applications, press Ctrl + Shift + U, enter 218, then Enter. Enter each code point separately for sequences. Other desktops or apps may require their character picker.

iPhone & Android

Look for S with accent in your emoji keyboard if available, or copy it here and paste. Save frequently used symbols as a text replacement or keyboard shortcut; availability varies by keyboard.
