Ue (Cyrillic)
Not to be confused with the Latin letter Y.
Ue or Straight U (Ү ү; italics: Ү ү) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.[1] It is a form of the Cyrillic letter U (У у У у) with a vertical, rather than diagonal, center line. Though the letter resembles the Latin letter Y (Y y) in its uppercase form, the two should not be confused.
Ue is used the alphabets of the Bashkir, Buryat, Kalmyk, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Mongolian, Tatar and other languages. It commonly represents the front rounded vowels /y/ and /ʏ/, except in Mongolian where it represents /u/.
In Tuvan the Cyrillic letter can be written as a double vowel.[2][3]
