Usage

{{ls}} redirects here. Use this shorter form of the template if you prefer.

This template is for displaying the HTML entity for the long 's', unicode characters U+017F and U+0283: ſ and ʃ.

{{Long s}} gives a standard long s ( ſ ) in the page namespace, and the standard letter s in the main namespace.

{{Long s|d}} gives a descending long s ( ʃ ) in the page namespace, and the standard letter s in the main namespace.

Main namespace

As noted above, the special s characters appear only in the page namespace, while the standard letter s appears in the main namespace. This can be changed by adding two lines to your CSS, in which case the special s characters will appear in the main namespace:

.selective-replace-archaic-typography-1{ display: inline !important; }
.selective-replace-archaic-typography-2{ display: none   !important; }
