But for normal, non-umlauted <u>, German handwriting also uses an accent
-reversed circumflex, like in Slavonic. I always found that confusing,
and <u> is the only vowel that has it, I think. Is is from the
old "Gothic" orthography, did <u> resemble another letter too much
otherwise, like <n> or so?
