U+A79E "Ꞟ" Latin Capital Letter Volapuk Ue Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ꞟ
U+A79E "Ꞟ" Latin Capital Letter Volapuk Ue is a specialized glyph used in the constructed language Volapük, where it represents a distinct vowel sound formed by the combination of "u" and "e," often transcribed as /y/ (like the French "u" or German "ü"). This character, along with its lowercase counterpart U+A79F, was added to the Unicode standard as part of the Latin Extended-D block to support historical and linguistic orthography, particularly for the revised Volapük alphabet created by Johann Martin Schleyer. It is rarely encountered outside of scholarly texts or digital typography projects focused on constructed languages, making it a niche but important symbol for preserving accurate representation of Volapük's written form.
