V with curl
ⱴ is a letter of the Latin alphabet, used in the phonetic transcription of African languages to represent a labiodental flap.
ⱴ was devised over 60 years ago, before there was an official International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a labiodental flap. In 2005, the symbol right-hook v, ⱱ, was added to the IPA to represent the sound.
