About the letter ù
ù is Unicode U+00F9, named LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH GRAVE. It is used in French, Italian, Vietnamese, Mandarin Pinyin and Yoruba. A short line slanting down to the right. French uses it on à, è and ù, Italian on final stressed vowels (città), Catalan and Portuguese for vowel quality, and Vietnamese and Pinyin for a falling tone. See the ù character page for every code and shortcut.
Troubleshooting
- Ctrl+Shift+U does not work in some Android apps on ChromeOS. Use it in Chrome and web apps.
- Make sure you type the code in lowercase or uppercase; both work, but do not include "U+".
- If nothing happens, check that an input method other than the default English one is not active.
