Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Capital V 𝘝
Visual Description: A capital V with a sans-serif, italic angle. The strokes are straight and even, without serifs, and the letter tilts to the right. It looks clean and modern, matching other mathematical sans-serif italic symbols. It is used for variables or quantities in technical notation. In some fonts, it appears slightly compressed.
Meaning & Usage: In mathematical writing, this symbol stands in for a variable or a quantity. In software and calculators, it may appear in formulas as a stand-in for a parameter or a vector component. Designers use it to keep text and math visually distinct. It pairs with other sans-serif letters in formulas.
Historical Background: Unicode includes a family of mathematical sans-serif italic letters. This V is part of that family, created to separate mathematical notation from standard text. The idea is to provide consistent letter shapes when formulas appear beside regular words. The style helps readers recognize math elements at a glance.
Practical Use: In editors, calculators, and quick UI controls, you can switch to this style to type formulas or compare values. It can help keep variables visually distinct from standard text. When building interfaces, builders use such symbols to indicate parameters, vectors, or constants in equations and in data displays.

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+1D61D or a built‑in character picker.
HTML: use the numeric entity 혝 (hex) or 혝 (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.
