Character	Name	Code point	HTML	LaTeX
	U+03BD. Thirteenth in the Greek alphabet, the letter for the sound n. Science writes frequency, kinematic viscosity and the neutrino with it. No Alt code types it; HTML has ν and LaTeX \nu.
	U+039D. Capital nu. The Latin N descends from it and has the same shape. HTML has Ν, and LaTeX has no macro of its own for it.
	U+1D708. Nu for math, italic. In formulas the letter often means a frequency.
	U+1D6EE. Italic capital nu. As a symbol the capital goes unused, since it looks the same as a Latin N.
	Made of U+0045, U+003D, U+0068 and U+03BD. E, an equals sign, h and nu: the energy of a photon is the Planck constant times its frequency.
	Made of U+03BD and U+0303. Nu under a combining tilde: the spectroscopic wavenumber, the number of wavelengths in a unit of distance.
	U+0076. The Latin v. Small nu resembles it but writes the sound n.
	U+03C5. Upsilon, a Greek vowel with a rounded foot where nu comes to a point. υ in HTML.

How it works

ν is the nu symbol: Greek small letter nu, U+03BD, the thirteenth letter of the Greek alphabet. The rows add the capital Ν, math styles such as 𝜈, the strings E=hν and Δν, and the look-alikes v, υ and η.

Nu is the Greek letter n

Nu writes the sound n. Its capital, Ν, U+039D, is drawn like the Latin N, which came from it, so the two differ only in code point. The Greek letter that looks like a small n is eta, η, a vowel.

ν is not v

ν, v, υ, ʋ and ∨ are five characters: Greek nu, the Latin v, Greek upsilon, a phonetic v with a hook and the logical or sign.

As a Greek numeral nu is 50, written νʹ.
Without a package LaTeX has \nu and no \Nu; the capital looks like a Latin N.

Questions and answers

How do I type the nu symbol?

No Alt code types nu, so copying is the short way. In HTML ν is the small letter and Ν the capital, ν and Ν as numbers. In LaTeX \nu prints ν in math mode.

Is there a Greek letter V?

The Greek letter that looks like v is small nu, ν, and it writes the sound n. Modern Greek writes the sound v with beta, β.

Is vega a Greek letter?

No. No Greek letter is named Vega. It is a term from finance, and its symbol, a script capital V, resembles the Greek letter nu.

Which Greek letter stands for frequency?

Small nu, ν. Physics writes the frequency of a wave with it, as in E=hν: the energy of a photon is the Planck constant times its frequency.

How do you say the nu letter?

English says nyoo, like the word new. Modern Greek says nee and writes the name νυ.

How this list was compiled: Names, and the code points they belong to, are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), printed in sentence case; its decomposition field is what says a math alphabet character is a plain letter in a font, or that an accented letter is a letter plus its marks. Aliases, notes and cross-references are from NamesList.txt of the same version (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt), the version a character was added in is from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt), and the years are from https://www.unicode.org/history/publicationdates.html.

LaTeX macros are listed only when LaTeX's own fontdef.dtx (https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/tree/develop/base) declares them, matched to a code point through unicode-math-table.tex (https://github.com/latex3/unicode-math). A cell is empty where no such method exists. What nu is for, as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu_(Greek) records it: the thirteenth letter, the sound n, the numeral value 50, how English and Greek say the name, the name in Greek, the small letter that resembles a Latin v, the capital that is not used as a symbol because it looks like N, the Latin and Cyrillic letters that came from it, frequency, kinematic viscosity, degrees of freedom and the neutrino among its uses, the letters it is not to be confused with, the Coptic ni, and the rule that styled Greek text keeps the plain letters.

Left out: the other Greek letters (upsilon and eta appear once each, as look-alikes), the syllables of other scripts that only share the name, and the neutrino symbols, whose subscripts have no characters of their own.
