U+A760 "Ꝡ" Latin Capital Letter Vy Unicode Character

U+A760 "Ꝡ" Latin Capital Letter Vy is a medieval typographic ligature representing the combination of the letters V and Y, which was historically used in Old English and Middle Scots orthography to denote a specific sound or diphthong. This character is part of the Latin Extended-D block and was included in Unicode to support scholarly transcription of ancient manuscripts, where it often appears in place names, personal names, or words that have since evolved in spelling.
