Û,û (u-circumflex) is a letter of theLatin script.^[1]

This letter is used in some standards ofCyrillic transliteration as the letterЮ:

• GOST 16876-71 table 1
• ISO 9 (ISO 9:1986 and ISO 9:1995)

It is used inWade-Giles (one of the romanization systems inChinese) for apical dental unrounded vowel as intzû,tz'û,ssû, corresponds to presentzi,ci,si inPinyin respectively.

û represents うう in bothNihon-shiki andKunrei-shiki romanization systems.

InAfrikaans, û is a punctuated form of u and a usage example includes "brûe". plural of "brug" (= bridge).

Û represents [uː] in Emilian dialects: in theBolognese dialect,anvûd [aŋˈvuːd] means "nephews".

In French, û does not change thepronunciation of the letteru except injeune "young", which is pronounced differently fromjeûne "a fast". In some other words likemû, the circumflex has no disambiguating value; attempts have been made to abolish it in such words. SeeCircumflex in French. Û also often appears in words that used to have an "s" after the "u": the French word forAugust,août, used to be writtenaoust.

Û represents the sound/uː/.

Û is occasionally used to represent the sound/uː/ in words likefûr, apoetic contraction offurono (they were).

Û is used in the KurdishKurmanji alphabet to represent a longclose back rounded vowel/uː/.

In theMasovian dialect,û represents /ju:/.

Û indicatespalatalization of the preceding consonant: "sükûnet" (quietness) is pronounced/sycuːˈnet/.

InWelsh,û is used to represent a longstressedu[ɨː] or[iː] when, without the circumflex, it would be pronounced as a short[ɨ] or[ɪ]:cytûn[kəˑtɨːn,kəˑtiːn] "agreed",bûm[bɨːm,biːm] "I was" as opposed tobum[bɨm,bɪm] "five" (soft-mutated prenominal form).
