The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Turned v (majuscule: Ʌ, minuscule: ʌ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, based on a turned form of the letter V.
It is used in the orthographies of Dan, Ch’ol, Nankina, Northern Tepehuán, Temne, Oneida, and Wounaan and also some orthographies of Ibibio.
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, Cyrillic Л, CJK radical 人, or Korean ㅅ.
In German and French handwriting, the numeral 1 often takes the form of a turned V, whereby the serif is extended down to the length of the main stroke.
