Ư (lowercaseư) is one of the 12Vietnamese language vowels.^[1] It represents the Vietnamese sound[ɨ].

As with most special Vietnamese letters, this letter is not well-supported by fonts and is often typed as either⟨u+⟩ or⟨u*⟩. TheVIQR standard is⟨u+⟩.

On the Windows default Vietnamese keyboard Ư can be found on where the [ key is on a US English keyboard layout.

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

• Ừ ừ
• Ứ ứ
• Ử ử
• Ữ ữ
• Ự ự

Ơ and Ư were in the past used forThai Romanization, Ơ being removed in the 1939 system and Ư lasting up until the 1968 system. Both are now written with digraphs,oe andue.
