There are two origins of this character. One ſs and one ſʒ.
You can see it here:

1 and 2 are ſs, 3 and 4 are ſʒ

Now it gets even more off-topic (sorry):

My personal favourite (and the one I've adopted in my handwriting) is
the one used in Berlin street signs, obviously ſʒ:

Interestingly I've noticed the Bonn street signs look rather similar, maybe
it's a thing capitals do.
