San (Ϻ ϻ) is an obsolete letter of the Greek alphabet that probably had a phonetic value of /s/ or /ṣ/. Located between pi and qoppa, it ended up being deprecated and replaced by sigma. This letter was used until the sixth century BC. C. The original grapheme of this letter, although reminiscent of the Greek Μ and the Latin M, comes from the Phoenician letter ṣade (𐤑‏).
