Ư

Template:Infobox grapheme Ư (lowercase ư) is one of the 12 Vietnamese language vowels. It represents the Vietnamese sound Template:IPAblink.

As with most special Vietnamese letters, this letter is not well-supported by fonts and is often typed as either Template:Angbr or Template:Angbr. The VIQR standard is Template:Angbr.

On the Windows default Vietnamese keyboard Ư can be found on where the [ key is on a US English keyboard layout.

Because Vietnamese is a tonal language this letter may optionally have any one of the five tonal symbols above or below it.

• Ừ ừ
• Ứ ứ
• Ử ử
• Ữ ữ
• Ự ự

Ơ and Ư were in the past used for Thai Romanization, Ơ being removed in the 1939 system and Ư lasting up until the 1968 system. Both are now written with digraphs, oe and ue.
