It is the 32nd letter of the Shughni alphabet between ӯ and Ф, representing /ɵ~ʊː/. Sometimes the digraph уо is used instead.[1]
U with ring above was also used in Lithuanian writing, notably in the orthography of Jonas Juška,[2] after the defeat in the January Uprising of 1863 and the following ban on Latin writing in official documents from 1864 to 1904.
