U+0191 "Ƒ" Latin Capital Letter F with Hook Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ƒ
U+0191 "Ƒ" Latin Capital Letter F with Hook is a distinct letterform used primarily in the orthography of certain African languages, such as Ewe. It represents a voiced bilabial fricative sound, akin to the English "v" but with both lips coming together, and it is visually characterized by a hook or tail appended to the lower right of a standard capital F. This character is not to be confused with the standard Latin "F" or the currency symbol for the florin, as it serves a specific phonetic function in written transcription.
