The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Waw (wΔw "hook") is the sixth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Arabic wΔw Ωβ, Aramaic waw π‘ , Hebrew vav Χβ, Phoenician wΔw π€ , and Syriac waw ά.
It represents the consonant [w] in classical Hebrew, and [v] in modern Hebrew, as well as the vowels [u] and [o]. In text with niqqud, a dot is added to the left or on top of the letter to indicate, respectively, the two vowel pronunciations.
It is the origin of Greek Ο (digamma) and Ξ₯ (upsilon), Cyrillic Π£ and V, Latin F and V and later Y, and the derived Latin- or Roman-alphabet letters U and W.
