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

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
