I just wanted to point out that the stylized 's' used to construct sfz
is simply the initial letter of sforzando/sforzato.
According to Elaine Gould, Behind Bars (115): "sforzando/sforzato
('reinforcing'; both abbrev. sf or sfz) is used for a sudden accent."
While it is true that the sforzando is sudden (subito), the 's' is
just an intensive prefix on forzando/forzato. As far as I know, it has
nothing to do with subito.
Most likely this naming was inherited from the Unicode Character
MUSICAL SYMBOL SUBITO (U+1D18D).
I would recommend changing description of U+E564 to Sforzando (to be
consistent with the stylized 'r' in U+E563 named Rinforzando).
All the best,
William Andrew Burnson
