U+11404 "𑐄" Newa Letter U is a character from the Newa script, which is traditionally used to write the Newar language of Nepal, and it represents the vowel sound "u" as in the English word "boot". This letter is part of the Newa block of Unicode, which was added to support the digital preservation and communication of this historically significant script.
