UMBI Charm – Letter S

The letter 'S' used to appear like a
horizontal wavy W and was used to
represent the bow of an archer. The
angularity of the shape came from the
Phoenicians, who gave it the name 'shin'.
The Romans flipped it to a vertical position
and named it 'sigma', and the Romans
flipped it to the position the letter has
today. The letter 'S' means
transformation.
