    		It's actual spelling would be as: "Double U" All others would be spelled with just their letter as you see it.

    		Surely, everything that can be defined is unique in a way specified by that definition?
    So "W" is the only 23rd letter of the alphabet.

    W is also the only letter that stands for the German rather than the more common English name for a chemical element.
    In French, W is the one letter of the alphabet that only generally appears in words borrowed from other languages.
    It appears at least three times in most Web addresses. So far so easy...
