Can someone tell me why the character ʍ is associated with Dentsu?

When I put it in as a keyword for ʍ.com, a ton of ads come up. A TON! Why?

Dentsu Incorporated (株式会社電通) is one of the largest advertising agency brands in the world. Its headquarters are located in the Dentsu Building in the Shiodome district of Minato, Tokyo.

Dentsu's billings are more than double its nearest competitor, Hakuhodo or ADK, in the Japanese market. Dentsu's success and dominance in Japan stems from Dentsu's origins as a media representative during the early part of the 20th Century. Dentsu produced the first newspaper advertisements as well as the first television commercials in Japan. Dentsu now offers a range of services, all in-house, from traditional marketing and creative, to specialty disciplines such as sports marketing, entertainment rights, PR, digital contents, and a growing range of communications services.

I believe it's someone overseas targeting error.
These don't show up on the page here locally(Tokyo).
It seems like some recruiting company ads.

This has been the case for a while now. What ads do you see in Tokyo? Just a recruiter?

No Dentsu or Requiter ads at all. Completely various ads.
