PolyTypeType it on our keyboard
Open the field already filled with ş — type or click more, then copy. No install, works offline:
Codes
| Reference | ş | Ş |
|---|---|---|
| Unicode | U+015F | U+015E |
| HTML entity | ş | Ş |
| CSS escape | \015F | \015E |
| macOS — Unicode Hex Input | ⌥ 015F | ⌥ 015E |
| Windows — Word | 015F Alt + X | 015E Alt + X |
macOS hex input needs the “Unicode Hex Input” source enabled (System Settings → Keyboard). The Windows Alt + X trick works in Word and Outlook; elsewhere use the panel below.
On a Mac
- Press and hold the s key — an accent menu pops up; pick ş.
- Character Viewer: ⌃⌘Space, search “s with cedilla”, double-click it.
On Windows
- Emoji & symbols: Win + ., switch to symbols, find ş.
- Character Map (search it in the Start menu) → find ş → Copy.
With PolyType installed
If you run the PolyType app or browser extension, type the base letter then the diacritic — no layout switch (the directive accents the letter immediately before it):
The instant cycle ;;s also works (repeat to cycle variants).
This inline syntax needs PolyType running; without it, use a method above.
