List of Cyrillic letters

The Cyrillic letter Straight U (Ү, ү) (in Mongolian, Kazakh, Tatar, Bashkir languages, Buryat and Kalmyk langugages and many others) is a form of the Cyrillic letter У with a straight, rather than diagonal, center line. It is used to represent the close front rounded vowel /y/. Though the letter resembles the Latin letter Y in its uppercase form, the two should not be confused.
