Mathematical Bold Capital V 𝐕
Visual Description: The V is a bold, upright glyph with straight edges and a sharp point. In math fonts it is thick and legible, with even strokes. It sits clearly beside normal letters and signals emphasis. The shape stays clean across print and digital displays. It remains clear at small sizes.
Meaning & Usage: The bold V marks a variable, vector component, or emphasized quantity in formulas. It helps distinguish items in dense equations. On calculators and in editors, bold letters highlight important terms or steps. It also supports quick comparisons in compact interfaces in dense layouts.
Historical Background: This glyph belongs to a family of mathematical alphanumeric symbols created to show emphasis and clarity in notation. Designers added bold variants to separate variables, quantities, and names from surrounding text. The aim was to improve readability across different fonts and devices.
Practical Use: In classroom materials and software, the bold V helps readers track vector parts, variable names, or key terms in a formula. Calculators and math apps may offer a toggle to switch terms bold for emphasis. Quick UI controls can apply bold styling to selected items for comparisons.

How to type / insert
Fast copy: click the Copy button near the top of this page.
By codepoint: in many editors and IDEs, you can insert via the Unicode code U+1D415 or a built‑in character picker.
HTML: use the numeric entity 퐕 (hex) or 퐕 (decimal) when an HTML entity is needed.
Compatibility & troubleshooting
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
