@Heinzi u was not ū but ŭ.

If you were allowed to write nn as n̅ and u looked like n̅, how did you see the difference between nn and u?

| Oct 19, 2016 at 7:22 | comment | added | Uwe | It's certainly not a remnant from Sütterlin. In Sütterlin, it was necessary to clearly distinguish the breve-like stroke over "u" from the two (often connected) vertical strokes over "ü". But putting a breve over "u" hasn't been taught for seventy years, so nowadays any squiggle over "a", "o", "u" in a German word will be interpreted as degenerated umlaut dots – unless you are obviously imitating Sütterlin, there are no other symbols that it could be confused with. | |
