Ṣ (minuscule: ṣ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from S with the addition of a dot below the letter. It is used in the transliteration of Indic languages to represent a voiceless retroflex fricative (IPA: /ʂ/), and in the transcription of Afro-Asiatic languages (mostly Semitic languages) to represent an "emphatic s", in Arabic Ṣ meaning "ص" "Ṣād".
