Usage notes
Represents the back vowel phonemes /u/ and /ʊ/. Unless a small ء (hamza) was placed in the beginning of the word. In Kazakh, the hamza marks that all vowels in the following word are fronted. If ۇ is the first letter and is representing a front vowel, it is combined with the hamza and the varient ٷ is used.
In UEY (Uyghur Ereb Yëziqi), if a word begin with a vowel, there will always a hamza before the vowel letter. e.g. ئېغىز(ëghiz). And when there is no consonant between two vowels, a hamza is always placed between them. e.g. سائەت(sa'et).
