Get the Gentleman of Four Outs mug.An obsolete variant of the letter s "ſ" that is often confused with an f (it also resembles ∫, a calculus symbol); It fell out of favour in the early 19th-Century for this very reason, as printers found that it was more practical to use a variant of s that would not be confused with f.
The long s still survives in German as the letter ß, which is a ligature of the letters ſ and s combined into ſs (ß). It can also be found in the Jägermeiſter (Jägermeister) logo.
