About this symbol
In the braille alphabet, V is the cell with dots 1 2 3 6 raised. Dots are numbered 1, 2, 3 down the left column and 4, 5, 6 down the right.
The third row of the alphabet, u to z, repeats a to e with dots 3 and 6 added, so V is B plus dots 3 and 6. W is the exception, added later because French had no use for it in Louis Braille’s day.
