Source: Browser Default
U+0056 "V" Latin Capital Letter V is the uppercase version of the twenty-second letter of the modern English alphabet and the ISO basic Latin alphabet. It is represented in most fonts as a pointed, angular glyph formed by two diagonal lines meeting at the bottom, and it has a numerical value of 86 in both Unicode and ASCII, as it is directly inherited from the ASCII standard. Historically, this character originates from the Semitic letter Waw, which also gave rise to the letters F, U, W, and Y, and in Latin, it was used to represent both the consonant sound /w/ and the vowel sound /u/ until the Middle Ages, when its distinct roles were gradually separated.
