Mathematical Sans-Serif Capital V 𝖵
Visual Description: The V is tall and straight with no serifs. It has a uniform stroke and simple corners, giving a clean, modern look. The shape matches other mathematical sans-serif capitals, so it sits neatly beside numbers and operators. In formulas and calculators, it reads as a clear variable or label.
Meaning & Usage: It represents a variable name or label in many formulas. In digital math, a sans-serif V helps distinguish non-italic identifiers from italicized constants. It may indicate a vector label, a category, or a placeholder in equations. Designers use it for quick UI readability.
Historical Background: It belongs to a family of mathematical alphanumeric symbols used to display stylized letters in formulas. Unicode and font designers created these variants to keep math text consistent across screens and print. The sans-serif versions were chosen to align with modern UI and digital displays, not to replace italics.
Practical Use: In math editors and calculators, you may insert this V to name a value, a vector, or a label. It helps keep comparisons and operations visually distinct. UI tools let users switch font styles, insert symbols, or group related variables for quick editing and checking of results.

HTML: use the numeric entity 햵 (hex) or 햵 (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.
