Vend (Ꝩ, ꝩ) is a letter of Old Norse. It was used to represent the sounds Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "IPA"., and Script error: No such module "IPA"..Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

It was related to and probably derived from the Old English letter Wynn of the Runic alphabet (ᚹ) and later the Latin alphabet (Ƿ ƿ), except that the bowl was open on the top, not being connected to the stem, which made it somewhat resemble a letter Y. It was eventually replaced with v or u for most writings.
