What is Ƒ?
The letter '''{{unicode|Ƒ}}''' ([[minuscule]]: '''ƒ''') is a letter of the [[Latin alphabet]], based on the [[italic type|italic]] form of [[F]]. It is used in writing the [[Ewe language]] to represent a [[voiceless bilabial fricative]] ([[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]: {{IPA|/ɸ/}}), as distinct from the letter [[F]], which represents a [[voiceless labiodental fricative]]. Compare {{unicode|[[Ʋ]]}}, which is the equivalent [[voiced consonant|voiced]] sound. The minuscule '''ƒ''' is also used as an abbreviation for [[florin]], [[gulden]] and [[guilder]]. The lowercase '''ƒ''' is also used in mathamatics for function notation: ƒ(x)=πx<sup>2</sup> ==Use on computers== Older [[typeface|fonts]] and [[character encoding]]s included only the [[minuscule]] form for its use as an abbreviation. [[Unicode]] includes both the [[majuscule]] and the minuscule. ==Other websites== *[http://www.bisharat.net/Documents/poal30.htm Practical Orthography of African Languages] [[Category:Latin alphabet]]
