U+0214 "Ȕ" Latin Capital Letter U with Double Grave Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ȕ
U+0214 "Ȕ" Latin Capital Letter U with Double Grave is a specialized typographic symbol used primarily in certain Latin script orthographies, most notably in the Slovenian language for historical or scholarly texts to denote a specific vowel quality or tone. Its distinguishing feature is the use of a double grave accent above the standard letter U, which indicates a falling tone in linguistic notation, rather than the more common single grave. This character is part of the Latin Extended-B block in the Unicode standard, and it is relatively rare in everyday modern writing, appearing instead in academic, phonetic, or etymological contexts where precise pronunciation or historical spelling is required.
