modifier letter capital v

Modifier Letter Capital V

30/32

ⱽ is a raised modifier in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet (UPA): its position marks a very short sound, and the system’s key gives its exact value. It belongs to specialist transcription, not to one universal sound. Desktop typing uses platform-specific Unicode hexadecimal entry.

Text symbol

What ⱽ means

ⱽ marks a very short sound in UPA/FUT transcription. UPA is the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet, a scholarly system for writing sounds in Uralic languages. FUT means Finno-Ugric transcription, a related tradition. The key used with a particular text gives ⱽ its exact value.

The shared transcription tradition took shape through proposals to write Uralic language sounds consistently. E. N. Setälä’s 1901 proposal for Finno-Ugric transcription is an early milestone; ⱽ was accepted as a UPA addition in 2006. The latter is its Unicode encoding date, not the sign’s origin.

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a separate system; ⱽ is associated with UPA/FUT and has no universal IPA value.

How do I type ⱽ?

Use Unicode hexadecimal entry; there is no dedicated key. As of 2026, documented routes include Word/Outlook: type 2C7D, then AltX; GNOME/GTK: press CtrlShiftU, type 2c7d, then Space or Enter; macOS: enable Unicode Hex Input, hold Option, and type 2C7D.

If an app does not offer hexadecimal entry, use its character viewer.

Why does ⱽ look different in fonts?

Font support determines whether the shape displays clearly. Unicode treats superscript, small-capital, and subscript forms as meaningful distinctions in phonetic writing. A font without ⱽ may show a box, while limited phonetic-font coverage can make raised and baseline forms look alike.

Technical and niche: ⱽ signals specialist UPA/FUT-style transcription.

It has no universal IPA reading.

V
Latin Capital Letter V
An ordinary full-height capital V; formatting can raise it, but it remains V rather than the distinct ⱽ character.
ᴠ
Latin Letter Small Capital V
A small-capital V on the baseline. ⱽ is raised, and that position can change the transcription.

Questions people ask

Why does ⱽ show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Latin Extended-C block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
