Ü (or ü) is a letter not used in English. It is commonly used to represent the sound [y]. Ü started as a u with an e above it. It is heavily used in the Turkic languages, such as Turkish. In German, ü can be replaced by the digraph ue respectively, if it is not available on the keyboard.

The "umlaut" diacritic indicates a sound shift phenomenon – also known as umlaut – in which a back vowel becomes a front vowel. It is a specific phenomenon in German and other Germanic languages, affecting the graphemes ⟨a⟩, ⟨o⟩, ⟨u⟩ and ⟨au⟩, which are modified to ⟨ä⟩, ⟨ö⟩, ⟨ü⟩ and ⟨äu⟩.
The u is pronounced as in “do” or “through”, and the ü is more of an ue sound, where the speaker shapes their mouth for a u sound, then says an “ee”. For non-native German speakers, the difference between the u sound and the ü sound can be difficult to hear and pronounce.
As the 'u' is often silent following a g in Spanish, the ü is used to indicate that you need to pronounce both the g sound and the u sound.
