Greek alphabet

Digamma (upper case Ϝ, lower case ϝ) is an obsolete letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 6. When used as a numeral, digamma is written using the stigma (Ϛ, ϛ), a ligature of sigma and tau. When used as a letter, it has the shape of an F (hence its name) and the value of a /w/.

Letters that arose from Digamma include the Roman F. Digamma—like Y—derives from the Semitic letter waw.
