Read the wikipedia article on "tengwar", and try some of the links at the bottom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengwar |

You can look at some of these - or even add them to your computer / tablet / smartphone / abacus: http://www.thehutt.de/tolkien/fonts.html |

Far too late for your banner, of course, but he used the Cirth, not the Tengwar. And if I could find the reference I would, but I THINK it's in the Treason of Isengard. I remember an image of the S as a kind of angular C, sometimes with a curly bit on the lower arm which makes it more like an S. |
