 The Latin Wikipedia logo reads "VICIPÆDIA", displaying the "Æ".However, in accordance with contemporary practice, Vicipaedia does not use ligatures in its articles for the diphthongs written "ae" ("Æ", "æ") and "oe" ("Œ", "œ"), even though in Latin a diphthong like the "ae" in "aes" is pronounced differently from an hiatus like the "ae" in "aer", both in the classical and even more so in the Italianate pronunciation.The ligatures were adopted by the Romans to save space, and æ and œ in particular were later maintained by Latin typographers to distinguish the diphthong from the hiatus.
