Kazakh Short U

1

Kazakh Uo or Straight U with stroke (Ұ ұ; italics: <span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">Ұ ұ ), is a letter of the Cyrillic script. In Unicode, this letter is called "Straight U with stroke". Its form is the Cyrillic letter Ue (Ү ү <span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">Ү ү ) with a horizontal stroke through it.

Usage

Kazakh Short U is used only in the alphabet of the Kazakh language, where it represents the near-close near-back rounded vowel, like the pronunciation of the ⟨oo⟩ in "book". In other circumstances, it is used as a replacement for the former letter to represent the close front rounded vowel in situations where it would be easily confused with Cyrillic У у. It is romanized as ⟨ū⟩ in Kazakh (2021 reform).
