![](https://www.dhi.ac.uk/san/medievalscribes/images/CCCC293-97-w3.jpg) | Usage: swich the middle lobe of 'w' usually stands taller than the elements to either side. | ![](https://www.dhi.ac.uk/san/medievalscribes/images/CCCC293-32-w4.jpg) | Usage: Wt 'W' as an upper case letter with angled feet and open head.
