C W M B R? I mean come on! Even the Welsh are like THAT NEEDS 22 OTHER LETTERS IN IT BEFORE THE ONLY VOWEL !!!

It’s called double U.
Only the French (afaik, I’m not a polyglot) get it right, they call it ‘double V’
For most of the history of the Latin alphabet, there was no distinction between U and V.

Also Spanish
In germany it is called W, pronounced [veː], non of that doubl bullshit, just it’s own letter.
Yeah the double bullshit ruins the alphabet. It’s much better to go … T U V VE X Y Z.
Just as in Hungarian, duplavé FTW
More like Double Eww amirite?
