U+04B1 "ұ" Cyrillic Small Letter Straight U with Stroke is a modified form of the Cyrillic letter У, characterized by a horizontal stroke through its center, primarily used in the Kazakh and Bashkir alphabets to represent a near-close near-back rounded vowel sound, specifically the phoneme /ʊ/. This distinct letter helps differentiate the sound from the standard Cyrillic "u" and is essential for accurately writing many Turkic languages, appearing both in lowercase as "ұ" and as its uppercase counterpart, U+04B0 "Ұ".
