While the earliest Old English texts represent this phoneme with the digraph {{angle bracket|uu}}, scribes soon borrowed the rune wynn {{runic|ᚹ}} for this purpose. It remained a standard letter throughout the Anglo-Saxon era, eventually falling out of use (perhaps under the influence of French orthography) during the Middle English period, circa 1300.[1] It was replaced with {{angle bracket|uu}} once again, from which the modern The denotation of the rune is "joy, bliss" known from the Anglo-Saxon Rune Poems:[2] {{runic|ᚹ}} {{lang|ang|Ƿenne bruceþ, þe can ƿeana lyt Who uses it knows no pain, sorrow nor anxiety, and he himself has prosperity and bliss, and also enough shelter. [Translation slightly modified from Dickins (1915)] It is not continued in the Younger Futhark, but in the Gothic alphabet, the letter {{script|Goth|𐍅}} w is called winja, allowing a Proto-Germanic reconstruction of the rune's name as *wunjô "joy". It is one of the two runes (along with þ) to have been borrowed into the English alphabet (or any extension of the Latin alphabet). A modified version of the letter ƿynn called Vend was used briefly in Old Norse for the sounds {{IPA|/u/}}, {{IPA|/v/}}, and {{IPA|/w/}}. As with {{runic|þ}}, ƿynn was revived in modern times for the printing of Old English texts, but since the early 20th century the usual practice has been to substitute the modern {{angle bracket|w}} because of ƿynn's visual resemblance to P.
