Other representations of U:

FromMiddle English lower case letterv (also writtenu), fromOld English lower caseu, from 7th century replacement by lower caseu of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc letterᚢ(u,ur), derived from Raetic letteru.

Before the 1700s, the pointed formv was written at the beginning of a word, while a rounded formu was used elsewhere, regardless of sound. So whereasvalor andexcuse appeared as in modern printing,have andupon were printedhaue andvpon. Eventually, in the 1700s, to differentiate between the consonant and vowel sounds, thev form was used to represent the consonant, andu the vowel sound.v then precededu in the alphabet, but the order has since reversed.

• Ross Perlin (2019)A Grammar of Trung‎^[4], Santa Barbara: University of California

Originally the dative and accusative form ofjij/gij, fromMiddle Dutchu, fromOld Dutchiu, fromProto-West Germanic*iwwiz, fromProto-Germanic*iwwiz,West Germanic variant of*izwiz, dative/accusative of*jūz, fromProto-Indo-European*yúHs.Doublet ofjou.

The use as a nominative form is linked to the polite addressuwe edelheid(“your nobility, your gentility”), which was shortened toU E. in writing and at times accordingly pronounced/yˈ(w)eː/. It is debated, however, whether this was the actual cause of the development or whether it merely reinforced it. Compare Englishyou, which was originally an object form, as well asAfrikaansons and nonstandard Dutchhun.

• The capitalization ofu (as inU orUw) is now consideredold-fashioned and no longer compulsory. In religious contexts, it is still often capitalized when addressing God.
• In verbs whose second and third persons singular are distinct,u may be construed with either of them. In formal context, the second person form is generally preferred except for the verbhebben(“to have”). Thus predominantlyubent,kunt,wilt,zult, whereasuheeft is more common than (or at least equally common as)uhebt.
• In the formal second person singular and plural reflexive senses,u alternates withzich, e.g.U meldt u/zich aan. 'You log in.'Zich is preferred if the reflexive pronoun immediately follows the subject pronounu, e.g.Meldt u zich aan! 'Log in!', and if the subject pronounu is used with a verb form that is identical with the third person singular and different from the informal second person singular, e.g.U heeft zich aangemeld. 'You have logged in.' Onlyu can be used in an imperative if the subject pronoun is not overt, e.g.Meld u aan! 'Log in!', whereu is the reflexive pronoun.^[1]

• Arthur E. Gordon,The Letter Names of the Latin Alphabet (University of California Press, 1973; volume 9 ofUniversity of California Publications: Classical Studies), part III: “Summary of the Ancient Evidence”, page 32: "Clearly there is no question or doubt about the names of the vowels A, E, I, O, U. They are simply long A, long E, etc. (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū). Nor is there any uncertainty with respect to the six mutes B, C, D, G, P, T. Their names are bē, cē, dē, gē, pē, tē (each with a long E). Or about H, K, and Q: they are hā, kā, kū—each, again, with a long vowel sound."

Proposed in 1908 as part of the new Latvian spelling by the scientific commission headed byK. Mīlenbahs, which was accepted and began to be taught in schools in 1909. Prior to that, Latvian had been written in GermanFraktur, and sporadically inCyrillic.
