This letter was proposed by Johann Martin Schleyer, alongside the letters Ä ä ⟨Ꞛ ꞛ⟩ and Ö ö ⟨Ꞝ ꞝ⟩ in the orthography of Volapük and was used briefly.
This letter, as well as the letters Ꞛ and Ꞝ were replaced in Volapük writing by the Latin letters with umlaut ⟨Ä ä, Ö ö, Ü ü⟩ at the Munich Congress of 1887.
