U+A7C2 "Ꟃ" Latin Capital Letter Anglicana W is a specialized typographic glyph used in historical and paleographic contexts, primarily representing a distinct form of the letter "W" found in Anglicana script, a medieval English handwriting style. Unlike the standard Latin capital W, this character features a more angular, calligraphic shape with a closed top and looped or serifed strokes, reflecting the scribal conventions of Middle English manuscripts. It was added to Unicode as part of efforts to accurately encode medieval and early modern textual variants, aiding scholars in digital transcriptions and philological studies of documents from that period.
