Mathematical Bold Fraktur Small V 𝖛

Visual Description: The symbol appears as a small v rendered in bold Fraktur, giving sharp lines and a decorative edge. It looks dark and evenly stroked, with subtle flair at the ends. In math text, it reads as a variable rather than a plain roman v. It pairs well with formulas, calculators, and quick UI controls for operations or comparisons.

Meaning & Usage: This character marks a variable in equations and can denote a component of a vector in many contexts. It may signal emphasis or denote a specific quantity when paired with other letters. In UI, you might type it to label a target during quick calculations or comparisons.

Historical Background: The Fraktur style emerged from early printed work and was adopted for emphasis in various type traditions. Mathematical bold Fraktur variants were later included in symbol sets to offer distinctive notation for study and teaching. The exact origin of this small v form is broad and shaped by design choices over time.

Practical Use: In teaching apps and calculators, this symbol can label a variable or a chosen value. It supports quick UI controls for operations or comparisons, such as swapping values, squaring a figure, or comparing two quantities. When used consistently, it helps students track steps in derivations and proofs.
