The Ü Programming Language

Article excerpt

A programmer has created Ü, an esoteric programming language that uses the German umlaut character as its core symbol. The language, hosted on GitHub under the name U-00DC-Sprache (the Unicode designation for Ü), appears designed as a novelty or artistic project rather than for practical use. The project attracted modest attention on Hacker News with 22 points and 11 comments, typical for niche programming-language experiments that appeal primarily to developers interested in linguistics, Unicode, or creative coding challenges.
