This vowel sign represents the long "uu" sound and is placed below a consonant character to modify its pronunciation, forming an inherent vowel shift within the syllabic structure of the script. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard, specifically within the Gurung Khema block added in version 16.0, supports the digital preservation and accurate representation of this minority language's writing system for modern computing and communication.
