General information
Sho, uppercase Ϸ, lowercase ϸ; variantly called "san", was a letter added to the in order to write the  phoneme. It was similar in appearance to the and {{WPL|Icelandic language|Icelandic}] letter, which is sometimes used to represent it in modern print, although both are historically quite unrelated. It probably represented a sound similar to English "sh" (ʃ). Its conventional transliteration in Latin is "š".

Its original name and position in the Bactrian alphabet, if it had any, are unknown. Some authors have called it variantly "san", on the basis of the hypothesis that it was a descendant of the archaic Greek letter San. It closely resembles, perhaps coincidentally, a letter of the Greek-based which may have also stood for [ʃ]. The name "sho" was coined for the letter for purposes of modern computer Unicode encoding in 2002, on the basis of analogy with "rho" (ρ), the letter with which it seems to be graphically related.
