PrintableASCII 119 | Hex 0x77 | U+0077
ASCII 119 encodes lowercase w. In web development, URLs begin with the www subdomain prefix, making w one of the most-typed characters in address bars, though modern browsers now hide the prefix. CSS uses w in the width property and vw (viewport width) unit. In regular expressions, \w matches word characters (letters, digits, and underscore). In vim, w moves the cursor forward by one word.
