"Ü", or "ü", is a character which represents either a letter from several extended Latin alphabets, or the letter U with umlaut or diaeresis.

Letter Ü
The letter Ü occurs in the Hungarian, Karelian, Turkish, Estonian, Azeri, Turkmen, Crimean Tatar and Tatar Latin alphabets, where it represents a close front rounded vowel (/y/). The Hungarian alphabet is an extension of the Latin alphabet. Karelian is a language closely related to Finnish, with which it is not necessarily Mutually intelligible. The Turkish alphabet is a variant of the Latin alphabet used for writing the Turkish language, consisting of 29 letters a certain number of which ( Ç, The Estonian alphabet is used for writing the Estonian language and is based on the Latin alphabet, with German influence In Republic of Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani alphabet may refer to either of two alphabets used to write the Azerbaijani language: one based on the Cyrillic alphabet The current official Turkmen alphabet as used in Turkmenistan is a modified Latin alphabet based on the Turkish alphabet, but with notable differences Two scripts are currently used for the Tatar language: Cyrillic and Latin. An alphabet is a standardized set of letters basic written symbols each of which roughly represents a Phoneme, a Spoken language, either The close front rounded vowel is a type of Vowel sound used in some spoken Languages The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents It is a distinct letter, collated separately, and not considered a simple modification of /u/ or /i/. It is distinct from "UE".
This same letter appears in the Chinese romanizations pinyin, Wade-Giles, and the German-based Lessing-Othmer, where it represents the same sound (/y/) e. In Linguistics, romanization (or latinization, also spelled romanisation or latinisation) is the representation of a Word or Pinyin, more formally Hanyu pinyin, is the most common Standard Mandarin Romanization system in use Wade-Giles (ˌweɪdˈʤaɪlz) sometimes abbreviated Wade, is a Romanization system (phonetic notation and Transcription) for the Mandarin g. 玉 (jade) or 雨 (rain). Pinyin uses Ü only when ambiguity could arise with similarly romanized words containing a U, whereas Wade-Giles and Lessing use Ü in all situations. As letter "ü" is missing on most keyboard and the sound "v" is not present in standard Mandarin, letter "v" is used on most computer Chinese input methods to enter the words containing "ü".
U-umlaut
Johann Martin Schleyer proposed an alternate form for Ü in
Volapük but it was rarely used.

Swedish ( is a North Germanic language spoken by more than nine million people predominantly in Sweden and parts of Finland, especially along the It is however not a part of these languages' alphabets.

A class in Education has a variety of related meanings It can be the group of students which attends a specific course or Lesson at a University The word student is etymologically derived through Middle English from the Latin second-type conjugation Verb "studēre" History An early precursor of the acute accent was the apex, used in Latin inscriptions to mark long vowels. A diacritic ( also called a diacritic or diacritical mark, point, or sign, is a small sign added to a letter to alter pronunciation Spanish orthography is one of the most phonemic among those that are written with the Latin alphabet.

In French, the diaeresis appears over the "u" in only some names: Capernaüm or Emmaüs.
Typography
Historically the unique letter Ü and U-diaeresis were written as a U with two dots above the letter. U-umlaut was written as a U with a small e written above: this minute e degenerated to two vertical bars in medieval handwritings. "Handwriting" redirects here For scripts for writing down notes by hand see " Cursive " In most later handwritings these bars in turn nearly became dots.
In modern typography there was insufficient space on typewriters and later computer keyboards to allow for both a U-with-dots (also representing Ü) and a U-with-bars. Typography is the art and techniques of arranging type, Type design, and modifying type Glyphs Type glyphs are created and modified using a variety A typewriter is a mechanical or Electromechanical device with a set of "keys" that when pressed cause characters to be printed on a medium In Computing, a keyboard is an Input device partially modelled after the typewriter keyboard which uses an arrangement of buttons or keys Since they looked near-identical the two glyphs were combined, which was also done in computer character encodings such as ISO 8859-1. A character encoding consists of a code that pairs a sequence of characters from a given character set (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Code page ISO 8859-1, more formally cited as ISO/IEC 8859-1 is part 1 of ISO/IEC 8859, a standard Character encoding of the Latin alphabet. As a result there was no way to differentiate between the three different characters. While Unicode theoretically provides a solution, this is almost never used. In Computing, Unicode is an Industry standard allowing Computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's
In Microsoft Windows, one can hold alt while pressing 0220 or 666 or 154 on the numeric keypad (when Num Lock is on) as a shortcut to Ü and hold alt while pressing 0252 as a shortcut to ü.
In Mac OS, one can hold alt while pressing u to obtain the dots and then u again (or any other desired vowel that shall receive the dots) to place it under the dots.
The Unicode code point for ü is U+00FC. In Computing, Unicode is an Industry standard allowing Computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's Unicode as of version 51 defines the following ranges for encoding the Latin alphabet and derived characters See also Mapping of Unicode characters Ü is U+00DC.
