Unicode Version 18.0

U+2132 "" Turned Capital F is a typographic glyph that represents a rotated or flipped version of a standard uppercase F, historically used in some alphabets or notation systems rather than as a standard letter in modern languages. Its most notable application appears in the Claudian letters, a set of three characters introduced by the Roman emperor Claudius in the first century AD to simplify Latin spelling, where Ⅎ was intended to represent the consonantal sound /w/ or to distinguish between the vowel and consonant uses of the letter V. Although Claudius's reform was ultimately abandoned after his death, the turned F remains a unique relic of Roman linguistic experimentation, and today it is encoded in Unicode primarily for historical and academic purposes, including use in philology and paleography.
