Lowercase s

PrintableASCII 115 | Hex 0x73 | U+0073
ASCII 115 encodes lowercase s. Pluralization in English typically adds s, but programmatic pluralization is notoriously tricky ("bus" to "buses," "index" to "indices"). In CSS, s is the unit abbreviation for seconds in animation and transition durations. In sed, the s command performs substitution (s/old/new/g). HTTPS adds the s to indicate TLS encryption over HTTP, and the absence of that s triggers browser security warnings since Chrome 68 (July 2018).
