It can also appear in words of foreign origin adopted into other languages. The character's numerical code point in Unicode is U+0150. Its corresponding lowercase form is U+0151, which is "LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS". The usage of U0150 is primarily for linguistic purposes, ensuring accurate representation and pronunciation of words across different alphabets and languages that utilize the Latin script.
