Ư

Ư is one of the 12 Vietnamese language vowels. It is pronounced [ɨ].

This symbol does not exist in fonts, and rarely included on keyboards, so it is often written as either u+ or u*. The VIQR standard is u+.

Because Vietnamese is a tonal language this letter may optionally have any one of the 5 tonal symbols above or below it.
