Did you know?
- The French word for 'f' as a letter is feminine, meaning you would say une effe rather than un effe.
- While f is a common letter, it is famously absent from the names of the French months, making it one of the least represented consonants in the calendar.
- In some older French handwriting styles like écriture cursive, the letter f is one of the few characters that descends below the baseline and ascends above it, mirroring the shape of a long 's'.
