In Americanist phonetic notation, the symbol ⟨ᴜ⟩ (a small capital U) is used.The Handbook of the International Phonetic Association defines [ʊ] as a mid-centralized (lowered and centralized) close back rounded vowel, therefore, an alternative transcription of this vowel is ⟨u̽⟩ (a symbol equivalent to a more complex ⟨ü̞⟩). However, some languages, such as Korean and Swedish have the near-close back rounded vowel, which differs from its near-back counterpart in that it is a lowered, but not centralized close back rounded vowel, transcribed in the IPA as ⟨u̞⟩, ⟨ʊ̠⟩ or ⟨o̝⟩ (this article uses ⟨ʊ̠⟩).The IPA prefers the terms \"close\" and \"open\" for vowels, and the name of the article follows this.
