Latin Capital Letter Esh

Latin Capital Letter Esh comes from Latin Extended-B, a block largely used by linguists, and by languages such as Vietnamese, several West African languages, and older romanization systems that need letter shapes beyond the standard Latin alphabet.

Unicode block: Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F). Latin Extended-B holds rarer Latin-script letters used in African, Vietnamese, and historical European orthographies, plus phonetic symbols adopted from early Africanist and Americanist linguistic notation.

At Unicode code point U+01A9 (decimal 425), Latin Capital Letter Esh is the 42nd of 208 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol. In terms of typing methods, like most characters outside the 0–255 legacy codepage range, it has no dedicated Alt-code or single-key shortcut on Windows or Mac, so copy-paste is the standard, universal method for typing it. Regardless of platform, clicking the copy button above places the exact character on your clipboard, ready to paste into any application that accepts Unicode text.

💡 Good to know: If you're transcribing linguistic data, double-check this glyph against the specific orthography or IPA chart you're following, since visually similar letters in this block can represent different sounds.
