U+00D9 "Ù" Latin Capital Letter U with Grave Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ù
U+00D9 "Ù" Latin Capital Letter U with Grave is a precomposed letter used in several languages to indicate a specific pronunciation or stress pattern. It represents a capital U combined with a grave accent, a diacritic that typically denotes a falling or low tone, as seen in Italian words like "più" (more) or in French terms such as "où" (where). In Unicode, this character is encoded in the Latin-1 Supplement block, and it can also be constructed by combining a standard capital U (U+0055) with the combining grave accent (U+0300), though the precomposed form ensures consistent visual representation across fonts and text systems.
