Latin Capital Letter V With Dot Below Letter Meaning
Ṿ (Unicode U+1E7E) is the uppercase form of the Latin letter “V” with a dot below. The dot makes it distinct from the regular “V” and can be used to represent a different sound, letter variant, or transcription detail in writing systems and scholarly or typographic contexts. In everyday use, you may mainly see Ṿ when copying text from sources that use extended Latin characters, or when designing lettering that requires that exact glyph. Because it is a specific Unicode character, it will render correctly when the font supports the Latin Extended block.
Common uses
- •Copy/pasting text that contains the exact character Ṿ from documents or websites
