Ú

Ú or ú (U with acute) is a Latin letter used in the Czech, Faroese, Hungarian, Icelandic, and Slovak writing systems. This letter also appears in Dutch, Irish, Occitan, Pinyin, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Galician, and Vietnamese as a variant of the letter "U".

Usage in various languages

Czech

Ú/ú is the 34th letter of the Czech alphabet and represents a /uː/ sound. It is always the first letter of the word except in compound words, such as "trojúhelník" triangle, which is composed of two words: "troj", which is derived from "tři" three, and "úhel", which means angle. If this letter is in the middle of the word, letter Ů is used instead.

Faroese

Ú/ú is the 24th letter of the Faroese alphabet, and may represent the following sounds:

Short [ʏ] in such words as krúss [kɹʏsː] ("mug", "coffee cup")
Short [ɪ] before /ɡv/ in such words as kúgv [kɪɡv] ("cow"), but also in brúdleyp [bɹɪdlɛip] ("bridal")
Long [ʉu] diphthong in úti [ʉuːtɪ] ("out"), hús [hʉuːs] ("house"), jú [jʉuː] ("but"),

Hungarian

Ú/ú is the 36th letter of the Hungarian alphabet and represents a /uː/ sound.

Icelandic

Ú/ú is the 25th letter of the Icelandic alphabet, and represents a /u/ sound.

Kazakh

It was proposed in 2018 that Ú/ú should be one of its Latin script, it should represent the near-close front rounded vowel (ʏ) and is used to replace Cyrillic Ү. The replacement is modified to be Ü ü in 2020.

Slovak

Ú/ú is the 39th letter of the Slovak alphabet and represents a /uː/ sound.

Portuguese/Spanish

In Portuguese and Spanish, the "ú" is not a letter but the letter "u" with an accent. It is used to denote an "u" syllable with abnormal stress.

Italian

Ú/ú is a variant of U carrying an acute accent; it represents an /u/ carrying the tonic accent. It is used only if it is the last letter of the word except in dictionaries.

gollark: I have no idea, really.

gollark: It's probably doable, I just have no idea how.

gollark: I mean, ideally you would be able to somehow autogenerate line maps.

gollark: It would probably be pretty easy if you hardcoded the position and length of each segment for each line, but that would be inelegant.

gollark: This seems like a graph problem™™.
