Turned v

Turned v (majuscule: Ʌ, minuscule: ʌ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, based on a turned form of V.

It is used in the orthographies of Ch’ol, Nankina, Northern Tepehuán, Temne and Wounaan and also some orthographies of Ibibio.[1]

Its lowercase is used in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent an open-mid back unrounded vowel, the vowel in plus in many dialects of English.

Despite the similarity in appearance, the letter has no connection to the Greek Λ, Chinese/Japanese or Korean .
