It is similar to the symbol for the Japanese yen or the Chinese yuan (¥), and the Latin letter Y with stroke (Ɏ ɏ).
Kazakh Short U is used in the alphabet of the Kazakh language,[1] where it represents the close back rounded vowel /u/, like the pronunciation of ⟨oo⟩ in "boot", or the near-close near-back rounded vowel /ʊ/, like the pronunciation of ⟨oo⟩ in "hook". In other circumstances, it is used as a replacement for the former letter to represent close front rounded vowel /y/ in situations where it would be easilly confused with Cyrillic letter У у. It is romanized as ⟨u⟩ in Kazakh.

In Polish, uppercase Latin Ұ (not in Unicode) is just another way to write "Y".
