The letter F is the sixth (6th) letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is ef, spelled eff when used as a verb.

On keyboards, often the F and J keys (or occasionally the D and K keys) have a raised dot or bar on their surface, perceptible to the touch, to assist in typing, especially for the blind. All other keys can be found with their relative positions around these two keys as the index finger normally rests on F and J keys (or the middle finger in the case of D and K).

F developed from the digraph FH that stood for /f/.

The Etruscans were the inventors of this digraph; F on its own stood for /w/ in Etruscan as in Greek (where the letter F, called Digamma in Greek, has disappeared due to the fact that the /w/ phoneme itself disappeared.) The origin of F is the Semitic letter wâw that also represented /w/ and originally probably represented a hook or a club.

The minuscule 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.

In English, F represents the voiceless labiodental fricative ([f] in IPA), although in certain words, such as "of", it can be a voiced labiodental fricative ([v] in IPA). The digraph "ff", pronounced [f], is often used at the end of words (and, in rare personal or placenames, at the beginning). Both initial and final F are commonly used with other discrete consonants.

In other languages, F can take on different values, such as [ɸ] (voiceless bilabial fricative) in Romanized Japanese or [v] in Welsh (which uses the "ff" digraph for IPA [f]). Different digraphs can also be used, such as "pf" in German for the affricate formed by [p] and [f].
Foxtrot represents the letter F in the NATO phonetic alphabet.

In international Morse code the letter F is DitDitDahDit: · · - ·

In Braille the letter F is represented as ⠋ (in Unicode), the dot pattern,
In Unicode the capital F is codepoint U+0046 and the lowercase f is U+0066.

The ASCII code for capital F is 70 and for lowercase f is 102; or in binary 01000110 and 01100110, correspondingly.

The EBCDIC code for capital F is 198 and for lowercase f is 134.

The numeric character references in HTML and XML are "F" and "f" for upper and lower case respectively.

Hi Paolo,
cool work with pretty colours.
I like your idea. Isn't it wonderful to see, how creative people can be if they have a challenge?!? I also show my first shot for the hunt today and had a lot of fun by doing it.
Hope to see more of your hunts, bye

Bonjourno Paolo

I like the superb color sharpness & lighting. Good note. The metallic texture of the measuring device against the red cloth, works well here.

deep colours, correctly focused and of course, very interesting subject.

Here I saw the another F ..here your F..
Nice to read your note..
Tar

nicely cropped, great warm colours, very sharp, just beautifull !!!!

Very good observation and good rendering of your F, Paolo. Maybe a bit edgy on the right & left side as I think it would work better if there was just a bit more space after the points of the F and at the top of the wood portion. Nice colours & good sharpness. Well done!

  • Great
