Proto-Semitic š Phoenician

Proto-semiticS-01.png PhoenicianS-01.png EtruscanS-01.png Sigma uc lc.svg
Semitic Šîn ("teeth") represented a voiceless postalveolar fricative /ʃ/ (as in ship). Greek did not have this sound, so the Greek sigma (Σ
came to represent /s/. In Etruscan and Latin, the /s/ value was maintained, and only in modern languages has the letter been used to represent other sounds.
The minuscule form of s was ſ, called the long s, up to the fifteenth century or so, and the form 'S' was used then only as upper case, just like 'G' and 'A' were only upper case. With the introduction of printing, the modern form s began to be used at the end of words by some printers. Later, it was used everywhere and eventually spread to manuscript letters as well. For example, "sinfulness" would be rendered as "ſinfulneſſ" in all medieval hands, later it was "ſinfulneſs" in some blackletter hands and in print. The modern usage "sinfulness" didn't become widespread in print until the beginning of the 19th century, largely to prevent confusion of 'ſ' with the lower case f in typefaces which had a very short horizontal stroke in their lowercase 'f'. The ligature of ſs (or ſz) became the German ess-tsett, ß.
[edit] Usage
The letter S represents the voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ in most languages; it also commonly represents the voiced alveolar fricative /z/, as in the Portuguese mesa or the English does. It is often used at the end of an English word to denote the plural, such as in dogs or pages. It may also represent the voiceless postalveolar fricative [ʃ], as in Portuguese, Hungarian, English and German (before p, t).

In Unicode, the capital S is U+0053 and the lower case s is U+0073.
The ASCII code for capital S is 83 and for lowercase s is 115; or in binary 01010011 and 01110011, correspondingly.
The EBCDIC code for capital S is 226 and the code for lowercase s is 162.
The numeric character references in HTML and XML are "S" and "s" for upper and lower case respectively.

Ace Frehley came up with the KISS logo and I've seen the photo of him in black stormtrooper uniform. Can't seem to find it online.
Frehley liked to dress in a Nazi stormtrooper outfit, mainly to irritate Gene Simmons.
March 1978 - Peter Criss & Paul Stanley of KISS. On tour in Japan and dressed as Nazi officers. The outfits were purchased by Ace Frehley earlier in the day. The three, knocked on Gene Simmons’ hotel-room. Simmons, with his selective memory, later recalled in his autobiography that it was just Ace Frehley in the Nazi uniform. The photo below, which was taken by Criss’ wife, Lydia Criss, dispels Simmons’ version of the story.
From 'Kiss and Tell'
The real reason Ace was booted from the band? He was a die-hard Nazi racist piece of excrement, that's why. He openly referred to Gene and Paul as "the Jews," and took way too much pride in his German heritage. He went so far as to don a Nazi uniform and bust in to Gene's hotel room one night while Gene was in bed "with" a young woman. Paul didn't appreciate this either.
Then there was the time when Gene was dating Diana Ross, and after she and her entourage visited a sound check, Ace called out on the PA: "Hey Gene! Someone left spears all over the stage! There's spears everywhere!"
