U+1DF4 "ᷴ" Combining Latin Small Letter U with Diaeresis Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1DF4 "ᷴ" Combining Latin Small Letter U with Diaeresis is a diacritical mark used in historical and scholarly text encoding, particularly for medieval and early modern Latin manuscript transcription. It modifies a base character by adding a small letter U with two dots (a diaeresis or umlaut) above or as a superscript, typically indicating a specific phonetic value or a scribal abbreviation. This combining character belongs to the Combining Diacritical Marks Extended block and is designed to be placed over another letter, such as an 'a' or 'e', to denote a rounded vowel sound or a vowel influenced by a following 'u' in historical orthographies. Its inclusion in Unicode allows precise digital representation of philological works that require such detailed notation.
