Latin Capital Letter Au Letter Meaning
Ꜷ is a single uppercase character identified as the “LATIN CAPITAL LETTER AU” (Unicode U+A736). In practice, it’s used to typeset text where an “AU” unit is treated as a distinct letter-like glyph—often for consistent spelling, special typography, or accurate reproduction of source text. You may encounter it in specific fonts, linguistic or historical materials that use dedicated AU characters, or when designers want the exact uppercase AU form. If you’re comparing it to writing “AU” normally, the difference is that Ꜷ is one character with its own Unicode identity.
