ℹ️ About

It functions as a superscript version of the lowercase ‘w’. Unlike standard text, it is categorized as a “Modifier Letter,” meaning it modifies the preceding sound rather than acting as a standalone consonant.

⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with the standard w (U+0077) or the (U+1D42) Modifier Letter Capital W.
