Etymology
edit
Uncertain. Possibly from Runic แข, though Snรฆdal (2015; see references) considers this unlikely, interpreting it as being derived from an allograph of Ancient Greek ฮ (O, โomikronโ); compare also the numerical values.
๐ฟ โข (u)
- The sixteenth letter of the Gothic alphabet, representing /u/, with a numerical value of 70.
