Ỽ

The Middle Welsh V, depicted as Ỽ or ỽ, is a letter employed in Middle Welsh texts between the 13th and 14th centuries. It represented the sounds of v, u, and w and – prior to inclusion in the Latin Extended Additional block of Unicode characters – was typically represented by the letter w in transcriptions. It is related to the Anglo-Saxon letter wynn (Ƿ).
