Ú, ú (u-acute) is a Latin letter used in the Czech, Faroese, Hungarian, Icelandic, Karakalpak and Slovak writing systems. This letter also appears in Dutch, Frisian, Irish, Occitan, Catalan, Pinyin, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Galician, and Vietnamese as a variant of the letter "U".[1]
Ú/ú is the 34th letter of the Czech alphabet and represents a pronounced as //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 sound is elsewhere in the word, letter Ů is used instead.
Ú/ú is the 24th letter of the Faroese alphabet, and may represent the following sounds:
Ú/ú is the 36th letter of the Hungarian alphabet and represents a pronounced as //uː// sound.
Ú/ú is the 25th letter of the Icelandic alphabet, and represents a pronounced as //u// sound.
Ú/ú is the letter of the Javanese Latin alphabet, and represents a pronounced as //ʊ// sound
It was proposed in 2018 that Ú/ú should be one of its Latin script, it should represent the near-close front rounded vowel (pronounced as /ink/) and is used to replace Cyrillic Ү. The replacement is modified to be Ü ü in 2020.
Ú/ú is the 26th letter of the Karakalpak alphabet and represents near-close front rounded vowel.
Ú/ú is the 39th letter of the Slovak alphabet and represents a pronounced as //uː// sound.
In Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan, the "ú" is not a letter but the letter "u" with an accent. It is used to denote an "u" syllable with unusual stress.
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.
