How to have this Latvian letter "s" with top "nose"?

Question

This discussion is an extension of this answer but in Beamer -documentclass and with XeLaTeX. I can get some variants working there in Pdflatex, see Christian's answer but with bad output and I do not want it, since I lose the nice layout what XeLaTeX can offer.

Code based on egreg's answer and which I think offers the best extensibility to solve this problem here in XeLaTeX

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{newunicodechar}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}   
š
\end{titlepage}
\end{document}

Any options offered in the above discussion are not working XeLaTeX.

Output nothing.

If you don't supply a definition for š, what do you expect? — egreg, Feb 26 '15 at 14:57
Yes, and how to supply that one. In the other class, it worked without explicit newunicodechar definition, but not in Beamer. I do not understand the difference between the two documentclasses. — Léo Léopold Hertz 준영, Feb 26 '15 at 14:58
Why are you using XeLaTeX, if you're not using any of its features? Besides, where's beamer used? Please, make an example that really reflects what you want. — egreg, Feb 26 '15 at 15:17
you have tagged the question xetex and beamer, but the example doesn't use beamer at all and inputenc will give a warning that it should not be used with xetex. — David Carlisle, Feb 26 '15 at 17:35
@DavidCarlisle My mistake in the body. Typed it fast. Of course, in beamer. — Léo Léopold Hertz 준영, Feb 26 '15 at 18:19

Use fontspec if you want to use XeLaTeX:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
š and math $a+b=c$
\end{frame}
\end{document}

enter image description here

I think it is better to do it without fontspec. Use simply
