U+1922 "ᤢ" Limbu Vowel Sign U is a diacritical mark used in the Limbu script, which is traditionally employed for writing the Limbu language spoken in parts of Nepal, Sikkim, and West Bengal. This specific vowel sign represents the short vowel sound /u/ and is attached to a base consonant letter to modify its pronunciation, functioning as a dependent vowel character that cannot stand alone. As part of the Limbu block in Unicode, it preserves the orthography of a language that has historical ties to the Kiranti family and is often handwritten in a left-to-right direction.
