Ȥ

Ȥ (minuscule: ȥ, Unicode codepoints U+0224 and U+0225, respectively), a Latin letter Z with a hook.

The Unicode standard notes "Middle High German" for the application of the grapheme, intended to represent the coronal fricative /s/ also transcribed as tailed z ʒ. It is used in modern printings of Medieval German literature to indicate those cases of z pronounced as [s], ȥ, modern German: s, from z pronounced as /ts/, as is still the case in modern German; the manuscripts typically used s to represent /z/.
