Uk (Cyrillic)
Similar letters: Uk (Ѹ ѹ; italics: ''Ѹ ѹ'') is a digraph of the early Cyrillic alphabet, although commonly considered and used as a single letter. It is an accent nasal vowel from Slavonic language.

Ouk-Khmer (Hill's Version)
''Makruk'' ( th, หมากรุก; ; ), or Thai chess, is a board game that is descended from the 6th-century Indian game of ''chaturanga'' or a close relative thereof, and is therefore related to chess. It is part of the family of chess variants. The word "ruk" ( th, รุก) in Thai is thought to derive from " rukh" which means "chariot" in the Persian language (and is also the common origin of the name for a rook in western chess). The Persian traders came to the Ayutthaya kingdom around the 14th century to spread their culture and to trade with the Thai kingdom. It is therefore possible that the Siamese Makruk, in its present form, was directly derived from the Persian game of Shatranj via the cultural exchange between the two peoples in this period. This is because the movement of Makruk's queen, or the "seed" ( th, เม็ด), is essentially the same as the ferz in Shatranj.
