U+04EE "Ӯ" Cyrillic Capital Letter U with Macron Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ӯ
U+04EE "Ӯ" Cyrillic Capital Letter U with Macron is a grapheme used in several Cyrillic-based alphabets, most notably in the Udmurt and several other Uralic and Turkic languages, where it represents a long or tense vowel sound similar to a standard "u" but with an extended duration. This character is formed by adding a macron, a horizontal line above the base Cyrillic letter "У", which modifies the vowel's phonetic quality in orthographies that distinguish vowel length. In textual contexts, it appears in dictionaries, linguistic documentation, and modern digital typography for languages requiring precise vowel representation.
