ℹ️ About
The Cyrillic Small Letter Straight U (ү) is a phonetic variant used in several non-Slavic languages using the Cyrillic script, such as Bashkir, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Mongolian, and Tatar. It typically represents the close front rounded vowel /y/. Unlike the standard Cyrillic “U” (у), which is derived from the Greek omicron-upsilon, the Straight U has a vertical orientation similar to a Latin “v” or “y” but with a distinct straight descender.
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with Ү (Uppercase U+04AE) or the standard Cyrillic у.
