U+05D5 "ו" Hebrew Letter Vav Unicode Character

U+05D5 "ו" Hebrew Letter Vav is the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, representing the consonant sound /v/ in modern Hebrew, though historically it also served as a vowel marker for the long "o" and "u" sounds, particularly when used as a mater lectionis. Its numerical value in gematria is six, and it is commonly employed as a conjunctive prefix meaning "and" when attached to the beginning of a word. In biblical texts, the Vav often appears with a vertical stroke and a distinctive top edge, and it links to the shape's ancient origins in the Phoenician alphabet.
