Georgian Letter Vin

ვ is the Georgian letter for the /v/ sound, as in English “vote,” in everyday Mkhedruli writing. On a Georgian QWERTY layout, the Latin v key enters it. Older Georgian scripts have related forms of the same letter.

Text symbol

What ვ means

Press v with Georgian QWERTY selected. On this layout, the Latin v key enters Georgian ვ; the active keyboard layout determines what the key produces. Other Georgian layouts may assign the letter elsewhere.

What sound does ვ make?

It represents the /v/ sound. In Georgian words, /v/ can act as a prefix, a part added at the beginning, or be inserted between neighboring vowels.

Georgian inscriptions survive from the fifth century, and early Georgian literary writing is tied to Christian texts and Bible translation. Asomtavruli, Nuskhuri, and Mkhedruli are Georgian script traditions associated with inscriptional, manuscript, and everyday writing.

An ordinary letter in Georgian words; its role depends on the word around it.

Pressing the Latin v key on a Georgian layout enters ვ, not Latin v.

Why does ვ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
