U+0941 "ु" Devanagari Vowel Sign U is a combining diacritical mark used in the Devanagari script to represent the short vowel sound /u/, as heard in the English word "put". It is always written as a small, curved mark placed below a consonant letter, transforming the consonant's inherent vowel from /a/ to /u/. For example, when combined with the consonant "क" (ka), it creates "कु" (ku). This sign is a fundamental component of the Devanagari abugida, essential for accurately writing a vast number of languages, including Hindi, Marathi, and Sanskrit.
