Esh (majuscule: Ʃ Unicode U+01A9, minuscule: ʃ Unicode U+0283) is a character used in phonology to represent the voiceless postalveolar fricative (English Шаблон:Angle bracket, as in "ship").

Form, usage, and history

Its lowercase form Шаблон:Angle bracket is similar to an integral sign Шаблон:Angle bracket or a long s Шаблон:Angle bracket with an extra leftward hook at the bottom; in 1928 the Africa Alphabet borrowed the Greek letter sigma for the uppercase form Шаблон:Angle bracket. The lowercase form was introduced by Isaac Pitman in his 1847 Phonotypic Alphabet to represent the voiceless postalveolar fricative (English sh). It is today used in the alphabets of some African languages,Шаблон:Which as well as in the International Phonetic Alphabet.

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) uses Шаблон:Unichar to represent a voiceless palato-alveolar sibilant. Related obsolete IPA characters include Шаблон:Unichar, Шаблон:Unichar, and Шаблон:Unichar.

Шаблон:Unichar is used in the Teuthonista phonetic transcription system.

Variations of esh are used for other phonetic transcription: Шаблон:Angle bracket, Шаблон:Angle bracket, Шаблон:Angle bracket.

Шаблон:Unichar and Шаблон:Unichar are used as click letters.
