Had my first encounter with \v doing an import of a legacy database just a few weeks ago. The data was passed on to us in a batch of XML-files. For some reason our XML parsing library would just ignore the rest of the file when it came to the \v character. Took me some time to find the culprit.
Edit: The \v character had somehow made it into one of the descriptions for one of the user profiles.
