U+0A42 "ੂ" Gurmukhi Vowel Sign Uu is a combining diacritical mark used in the Gurmukhi script, which is primarily employed for writing the Punjabi language. This vowel sign represents the long vowel sound /uː/, similar to the 'oo' in the English word "boot," and is placed below or attached to a consonant letter to modify its inherent vowel sound. It serves as the lengthened counterpart to the short vowel sign U (U+0A41), and its correct application is essential for accurate spelling and pronunciation in Gurmukhi orthography.
