U+1E74 "Ṵ" Latin Capital Letter U with Tilde Below is a specialized glyph used primarily in the romanization and orthography of certain African languages, such as some variants of Yoruba or Gbe languages, where it represents a distinct vowel sound, often a nasalized or lowered version of the standard [u] phoneme. This character is formed by combining the base Latin capital letter U with a combining tilde diacritic placed beneath it, which indicates a specific phonetic modification. It belongs to the Latin Extended Additional block in Unicode, designed to support transcriptions and writing systems that require diacritical marks not present in basic Latin.
