Depending on your platform, you should be able to insert a character from your system's "Character Map" software. Use the Linux Libertine O font and character U+E02F from the private use area. Alternatively, you can highlight and copy this character: <span style="font-family:Linux Libertine O"></span>.
Unfortunatly Inkscape does not support such a convenient method, so you have to copy&paste it from another software. We think [http://utils.kde.org/projects/kcharselect| KCharSelect] is a nice (Open Source) Software for this purpose.

  • Select it (with the text-tool)
  • Open the glyphs
  • Use the dropdown menu to chose "Alternative characters"
  • Some alternative "W"s will appear: Choose the Wikipedia "W" (with crossed strokes)
