Usage

Kazakh Short U is used only in the alphabet of the Kazakh language,[1] where it represents the near-close near-back rounded vowel /ʊ/, like the pronunciation of the ⟨oo⟩ in "book".[2] In other circumstances, it is used as a replacement for the former letter to represent the close front rounded vowel /y/ in situations where it would be easily confused with Cyrillic У у. It is romanized as ⟨ū⟩ in Kazakh (2021 reform).
