V hook as drawn in the African reference alphabet of 1978.

The letter V with hook (Upper case Ʋ, minuscule: ʋ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, based on an italic form of V. It is used in the orthographies of some African languages such as Ewe, and Shona from 1931 to 1955 to write [β]. Its lowercase form, [ʋ], is used in the International Phonetic Alphabet for a labiodental approximant.

Its Unicode code points are U+01B2 and U+028B, respectively.
