Hwair (lowercase ƕ, uppercase Ƕ) is a letter from various medieval Latin alphabets, which is currently still used in the transcription of the Gothic alphabet.
It somewhat resembles a Hv ligature, and was mainly designed to transcribe the Gothic letter of the same name. Its sound is a breathy 'w'.
As with most medieval extended Latin letters, support for it in typefaces is very rare. On computers the letter can be typed with Unicode U+0195 (lowercase) and U+01F6 (uppercase).
