Ŭ or ŭ is a letter in the Belarusian Latin alphabet used since 1840/1845, based on u. It is also used in the Esperanto alphabet, publicly presented in 1887, and formerly in the Romanian alphabet. The accent mark (diacritic) is known as a breve.
This letter should not be confused with u-caron, which is used to indicate u in the third tone of Chinese language pinyin; compare (caron) with (breve).
