Unicode Version 17.0

U+1824 "ᠤ" Mongolian Letter U is a character used in the traditional Mongolian script, which is written vertically and is employed primarily for the Mongolian language in Inner Mongolia, China, as well as historically for other languages like Manchu and Evenki. This specific letter represents the vowel sound /u/ (as in "boot"), and its form is derived from the vertical cursive script that has been in use for centuries. Within the Unicode standard, it belongs to the Mongolian block, which includes characters necessary for rendering the complex ligatures and positional variants of the script, though U+1824 itself is a standalone medial or final form depending on context.
