What 𝐕 means
Not by itself.
In physics and applied math, bold often marks vectors; identify capital 𝐕 from its formula or the author's definition.
Pre-digital mathematical typesetting used bold upright letters for vectors and matrices in some traditions. Unicode's math alphabets carry those distinctions into plain-text formulas. NFKC can fold 𝐕 to V and erase the distinction.
Technical notation; bold may distinguish one mathematical variable from another.
Don't assume it names a vector; notation and field conventions matter.
