U+1E7C "Ṽ" Latin Capital Letter V with Tilde Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ṽ
U+1E7C "Ṽ" Latin Capital Letter V with Tilde is a precomposed character used primarily in the transliteration of certain African languages, such as in the Gbe languages of West Africa, where the tilde diacritic indicates a nasalized pronunciation of the consonant 'v'. It combines the Latin letter V with a combining tilde diacritic and is part of the Latin Extended Additional block, supporting phonetic and orthographic needs beyond standard European alphabets. In digital text, this character ensures correct representation for writing systems that require the nasalized v sound, distinguishing it from a plain "V" in linguistic and educational contexts.
