U+A7D5 "ꟕ" Latin Small Letter Double Wynn Unicode Character

U+A7D5 "ꟕ" Latin Small Letter Double Wynn is a typographic ligature used in medieval and early modern English and Old Norse manuscripts, where two instances of the letter wynn (Ƿ ƿ) were combined to represent the sound /w/ or /v/ in certain scribal traditions. It belongs to the Latin Extended D block and was added to Unicode in version 14.0 (2021) to support historical text encoding and paleographic research. This character is distinct from the more common digraph "ƿƿ" and is rarely seen in modern typography, primarily serving scholars who study original manuscript sources from Anglo-Saxon and Norse contexts.
