After reading the article I think you are mistaken. es-zett is a long s combined with a z, hence the name. A long S is just that, a Long S .
I'm sorry about this.

You're right: i didn't know that "long S" had its won character.
Its character is a sneaky one, though, sneaking in before H where it has no business being . Unless it's in IPA, in which case it goes 'sh' (Quoth the article, "voiceless postalveolar fricative")

I keep meaning to make things from it but it's actually pretty hard to find one recipe that has a fully comprehensible and purchasable list of ingredients.
