Answer:

In Classical Latin, the /w/ sound was represented by the letter “v”. ... To distinguish the sound of “w” from either “v” or the up and coming “u”, a double form of “u” was taken to represent the original Classical Latin “v”, written as 'uu.' Compound letters used to represent a phoneme are called a digraph.
