U+0F74 "ུ" Tibetan Vowel Sign U Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+0F74 "ུ" Tibetan Vowel Sign U is a combining mark used in the Tibetan script to represent the vowel sound "u," which modifies the inherent vowel of a consonant to which it is attached. Visually resembling a small hook or crescent shape, this sign appears above the consonant it follows, and it is a crucial component of the Tibetan abugida system, where consonants carry an inherent "a" sound that is changed by such vowel diacritics.
