May 3, 2021 at 9:03 comment added shabunc @YellowSky well, as one who lives in South Germany I'd rather say that soft s and z are allophones, so native German speaker will have hard times telling apart Симон and Зимон. Thank you for the link! - of course one is free in choosing any symbols - all I'm trying to say it's not IPA.
May 3, 2021 at 8:54 comment added Yellow Sky @shabunc - That's how they transcribe the russian letter <C>, IPA [s], on this Geman-language site: russlandjournal.de/russisch-lernen/schrift-und-aussprache. In German, S before vowels is always read as [z], so they use the “eszett” symbol ß to make sure the readers pronounce [s] in those words. In German, ß is always read as [s] but cannot be in the word onset: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ß

May 2, 2021 at 12:22 comment added shabunc To my knowledge there's no such IPA symbol as ß ;) there's a similarly looking voiced bilabial fricative ꞵ but this is not ß and is used for a completely different phoneme.
