Ş, ş (S-cedilla) is a letter of the Azerbaijani, Gagauz, Kurdish, Turkish, and Turkmen alphabets. It is also used in the Latin alphabets of Tatar, Crimean Tatar, Bashkir, Uzbek, Chechen, and Kurdish. It commonly represents /?/ (/sh/), the voiceless postalveolar fricative (like sh in shoe).

Similarly, you may ask, what does Š mean?

The grapheme Š, š (S with caron) is used in various contexts representing the sh sound usually denoting the voiceless postalveolar fricative or similar voiceless retroflex fricative /?/. It represents the same sound as the Turkic letter Ş and the Romanian letter Ș (S-comma).

One may also ask, what is the ç called? Cedilla: ç The little hook ¸ added under the letter c in French is a diacritical mark known as a cedilla, une cédille. The letter c with the hook ç is called c cédille. The sole purpose of the cedilla is to change a hard c, pronounced [k], to a soft c, pronounced [s].

Keeping this in view, how do you type an S with a cedilla?

Have you tried the direct method of inserting a Unicode U+015F or U+015E character for the lower and upper case Latin letter s with cedilla? Type 015f then tap the Alt key, then the x key. You should end up with ş. Repeat with 015e then Alt then x for the upper case Ş.

Why does facade have a weird C?

The cedilla (ç) beneath the letter 'c' is used in French to show that it is to be pronounced as /s/ and not as /k/. Since facade is now an English word as much as it is a French one, there's no need to follow French practice.
