Ƒ
open-in-new
<p>The letter F with hook (uppercase Ƒ, <a href="/facts/Lower_case/KQcwaUUD">lowercase</a>: ƒ) is a letter of the <a href="/facts/Latin_script/7EWeJjUV">Latin script</a>, based on the <a href="/facts/Italic_type/BECCTMng">italic</a> form of <a href="/facts/F/2Qhv29hR">f</a>; or on its regular form with a <a href="/facts/Hook_(diacritic)/5HvFk5tU">descender hook</a> added. A very similar-looking letter, ⟨ʄ⟩ (a <a href="/facts/Dotless_J/L9lfMwlN">dotless <i>j</i></a> with a hook and a horizontal stroke), is used in the <a href="/facts/International_Phonetic_Alphabet/2e7jmUaG">IPA</a> for a <a href="/facts/Voiced_palatal_implosive/8t6JnQQy">voiced palatal implosive</a>. </p>
