Bind CTRL-S (CTRL-shift-S) separately from CTRL-s?

Bind CTRL-S (CTRL-shift-S) separately from CTRL-s?

How do I bind CTRL-S (CTRL-shift-S) to a function without affecting
CTRL-s?

I've tried
(global-set-key "\C-S" 'blabbafunc)
(global-set-key "\C-S-s" 'blabbafunc)
(global-set-key "S-\C-s" 'blabbafunc)
(define-key key-translation-map "\C-S" 'blabbafunc)
(define-key key-translation-map "S-\C-s" 'blabbafunc)

None of that is right.

You're missing a backslash in front of the second modifier.
I recommend you avoid the string syntax, so if you try

   (global-set-key [?\C-S-s] 'blabbafunc)

you'll get a useful error message whereas
   
   (global-set-key [?\C-\S-s] 'blabbafunc)

will be accepted.  For some reason it doesn't work for me (the key
seems never to reach Emacs, so it's presumably caught by the WM or
something), but it works for ?\C-\S-d, so the syntax is right.

Thanks!
Your suggestion works for me.
I don't remember doing anything special to get keys past the WM and
into emacs, except for this:
(setq w32-pass-lwindow-to-system nil
      w32-pass-rwindow-to-system nil
      w32-pass-apps-to-system    nil
)
... but that has nothing to do with CTRL-S.
I don't see how, but could it be a keyboard issue?
I'm using the keyboard from my PS2  (IBM Personal System 2).

(global-set-key (kbd "C-S-s") 'blabla) ought to work.
