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⟩. The ⟨ȥ⟩-character is used in modern printings of Medieval German literature to indicate those cases of ⟨z⟩ pronounced as [s] (in such a case, modern German now uses ⟨s⟩). In contrast, the ⟨z⟩-character is pronounced as /ts/, as is still the case in modern German.^[1] And the ⟨s⟩-character is pronounced as /z/.
