Image:Proto-semiticW-01.png Image:PhoenicianW-01.png Image:GreekDigamma-01.png Roman F

The origin of F is the Semitic letter vâv that represented the sound /v/, and originally probably represented either a "hook" or a "club". It may have been based on a comparable Egyptian hieroglyph, such as that for "mace": Image File history File links Proto-semiticW-01. ... Image File history File links PhoenicianW-01. ...

It has been suggested that Hieroglyph (French Wiki article) be merged into this article or section. ...

The Phoenician form of the letter was adopted into Greek as a vowel, upsilon (which resembled its descendant, Y, but was also ancestor to Roman letters U, V, and W); and with another form, as a consonant, digamma, which resembled our letter F, but was pronounced /w/, as in Phoenician. (Later on, this /w/ phoneme disappeared from Greek, resulting in digamma being used as a numeral only.) Upsilon (upper case , lower case ) is the 20th letter of the Greek alphabet. ...

In human language, a phoneme is the theoretical representation of a sound. ...


In Etruscan, F also stood for /w/; however, they came up with the innovation of using the digraph FH to represent the sound /f/, and the letter acquired this sound on its own when the Romans picked it up (since they had already borrowed U independently from Greek upsilon to stand for /w/). The letter phi (Φ φ) came to approximate the sound of /f/ in Greek. Note: This page or section contains IPA phonetic symbols in Unicode. ... This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. ...


The lower case f is not to be confused with ſ, the archaic long s (or medial s). For example, "sinfulness" is rendered as "ſinfulneſs" using the long s. The use of the long s died out by the end of the 19th century, largely to prevent confusion with f. Minuscule, or lower case, is the smaller form (case) of letters (in the Roman alphabet: a, b, c, ...). Originally alphabets were written entirely in majuscule (capital) letters which were spaced between well-defined upper and lower bounds. ...

Fahrenheit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (774 words)
In this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (written "32 °F"), and the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and freezing points of water 180 degrees apart.
Thus the unit of this scale, a degree Fahrenheit, is 5/9ths of a kelvin (which is a degree Celsius), and negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to negative 40 degrees Celsius.
Absolute zero is at −459.67 °F. The Rankine temperature scale was invented to use degrees the same size as Fahrenheit degrees, and so that at 0 °R would be absolute zero.
