A letter in my anomalously named Germanic conlang Føtisk LATIN SMALL
LETTER UE U+1D6B (in Phonetic Extensions, down the back), it has no
capital counterpart.
The only place I've seen it in the wild is, unless I'm wrong, as a
transliteration for blackletter[*] German ü in a transliteration chart
of alphabets (others were Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Old Latin and
Phoenician) in the back of the Macquarie Dictionary. I'm not sure what
use it has that it's been included in Unicode.
[*]: Ironically, the Føtisk style of writing that includes the character
is blackletter.
