Latin Capital Letter Visigothic Z Letter Meaning
Ꝣ (U+A762) is the Latin Capital Letter Visigothic Z. In practice, this character is mainly used as a stylistic or typographic alternative to a regular uppercase “Z” when working with manuscripts, historical Latin-inspired typography, or specialized fonts. Because it’s a specific Unicode character (not just a visual variant), it can help keep your documents consistent across systems that support the glyph. When the font doesn’t include the character, it may display as a fallback or replacement box, so pairing it with a supporting font is important.

- •Academic or archival text where a specific letter form is required
