Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+A77C "ꝼ" Latin Small Letter Insular F is a typographic variant of the letter F that originated in medieval insular scripts used in Ireland and Anglo-Saxon England, where it was often written with a distinctive open shape resembling a modern lowercase F but with the top stroke crossing only to the left. This character was historically employed to represent the same phonetic value as a standard Latin F, but its separate encoding in Unicode preserves it for historical and scholarly reproduction of early medieval manuscripts, as well as for use in certain modern linguistic transcriptions and decorative fonts.
