Usage notes
Not considered a letter of the alphabet, but the letter u with the circumflex diacritic. Represents palatalized k or g in the same syllable (i.e. /c/, /ɟ/) or long u (/uː/) where it is phonemic.
Note that the palatalizing effect of the letter û means that it can never appear in the same syllable as a /k/ or /ɡ/ sound, even when it would be needed to mark vowel length and distinguish two homographs.
